Re: P/O D.W.Crowley-Milling's Hawker Hurricane
The identity of P3207 is confirmed as LE*L. It replaced the previous LE*L P3088 that was Category 2 damaged on 11 July 1940 when flown by 'Slim' GRASSICK. By far the best source of information on No.242 Squadron is the excellent history 242 Squadron The Canadian Years by Hugh Halliday (1981 Canada's Wings Inc.) which I recommend most highly. I do not know exactly when McKNIGHT adopted his distinctive personal marking but it was probably sometime during November - December 1940.
