Hello,

During the attack on shipping in Zavratnica bay on 27 August 1944, Hurricane Mk.IV KZ243 "I" of 6 Sqn was hit by flak. It crashed into a hilltop at the exit from the bay, exploded and scattered over the sea. Sqn/Ldr James H. Brown DSO DFC perished in the crash. Some remains of the plane were found and ehxavated in October 1989.
