At the end of 1943 137, 164 and 184 Sqns were still using Hurricane IVs but 137 and 164 began converting to Typhoons in January 44, followed by 184 Sqn in March 44. As far as I can see, the last offensive Hurricane sorties (NW Europe) were flown by 184 Sqn in February 1944. (Source: Squadron ORBs)
I've not come across any Hurricane squadron used for spotting on D-Day or in the folowing days. If anyone knows which one I'd be interested to hear.
