I know that Hurricanes were still used in the summer of 1943 but when did they go out of operational service in NW Europe with the RAF (including foreign and Commonwealth Sqns).

I'm not talking about Comms use, training or delivering beer, I mean actual offensive ops attacking the Germans or even defensive actions against the Luftwaffe.

I appreciate that the FAA and the RAF in other theatres used Hurricanes until 1945, but so far I have not found the answer for NW Europe!
