I/D Hurricane pilot
 

Hi guys

I'm seeking the identity and unit of a Hurricane pilot who baled off North African coast on 17 October 1943 and was rescued by the destroyer HMS Fury south of Rhodes.

Cheers
Brian

Hello Brian,
Have you looked at the HMS Fury action off Greece for the 16th and 17th ?

And

I have searched the AB serial number books and found nil. Having said that there are several that there is no info on .

Where did the info about the downed a/c being a Hurricane come from ?

FAA aircraft were in action on the 16th but I do not think they were Hurricane.

What RAF/RAAF/SAAF Hurricane Squadrons would have been in action over the area on the 16th to say 18th ?

All the best
Alex
