Hello Tony
the info on the Hurricane IID armour in my message #66 is from the leading Hawker and Hurricane specialist late Francis K. Mason, more specifically from his article on Hurricane Variants in Wings of Fame Volume 2. He also noted that also the GB based 164 and 184 Sqns got the lightly armoured early production version. IMHO when we are talking on Hurricane Mason is better source than Shores.

And as have been told, armoured Hurricane IV was the ultimate CAS Hurricane, it could and did use 40mm Vickers S gun in combat till 1945.
