Hurricanes and Bf109 in Brittany

Hi , I am new here and was looking for various pieces of info.
1. Did Hurricanes and Bf 109's meet in combat after D Day in Brittany?
2. Did the French fly Hurricanes and what squadron ?
3. What squadrons where stationed in Finisterre, France.
Also I am looking for fuselage and wing scale plans for the above mentioned aircraft.
Any info would be appreciated.
Many thanks Nick

GC1 in the western desert flew Hurricanes under Jean Tulasne before GC3 was formed
Guipavas (Brest) and Morlaix are the principal fields in that part of France
