Looking for info/photos of Hurricane N2426 FL in Belgium on 16 May 1940
Hello,
Seeking further information and/or photos of this Hurricane: "79 Squadron Merville: May 16, 1940: Hurricane N2426. Shot down by Oberlt. Redlich (Staffelkapitän) of 1./JG27 during attack on Fw189 of 9.(H)/LG2 near Braine-le-Comte and crash-landed near 'Les Hayettes', at Réves (Belgium) at 8:30 p.m. Sergeant H. Cartwright believed unhurt. Aircraft abandoned."
I've got photos of two 79 SQ Hurricanes in the EoE DB: NVoK, P2537, abandoned on an airfield derelict and captured, and NVoL, SN unknown, captured by German motorcycle troops sitting on its landing gear, possibly on the same airfield. One of these certainly isn't N2526, and the other, since it is on its wheels, probably isn't the a/c I'm looking for.
Who can help?
Regards,
