МиГ-21Ф (Ф13)

[Jeroen Nijmeijer]

Hi,

In the article about the 32nd Guards Air Fighter Regiment in Cuba (1962-1963) from Sergey Isaev's book (http://www.airforce.ru/history/cold_war/cuba/index.htm) it is mentioned that 40 MiG-21F-13 and 6 MiG-15UTI were shipped to Cuba.

But until now I had not found any information about the registration numbers of the 40 MiG-21F-13. In an article by Maikel Mederos Fiallo (Cuba) on Facebook, the registration numbers of these 40 MiG-21F-13 are mentioned.

The following registration numbers are mentioned in the article on Facebook:
Squad A. Chief Gustavo Bourzac Miller. Engineer. Julio Sarmiento. Serial planes 01 - 12 (twelve aircraft).
Squad B. Chief Benigno González Cortés. Engineer. Orlando de la O. Serial planes 16 - 29 (fourteen aircraft).
Squad C. Chief Carlos Lamas. Engineer. Julián Castañeda. Serial planes 30 - 43 (fourteen aircraft).

But are these perhaps Soviet AF codes or are these Cuban registration numbers?
