MSN v C/N: This listing uses the term MSN (Manufacturer's Serial Number) to identify individual airframes. It has been chosen over the more traditional C/N (Constructor's Number) as it more closely defines what the number represents. The term MSN is more widely used today and is the term more likely to be found on an aircraft data plate whereas the term C/N is very rarely used on aircraft data plates. Both terms are equally valid means of describing the same number.
