Re: Hurricane V7670

Hi Mark and Chris,

I can't assist you with the details of how this aircraft originally ended up in the hands of the Axis powers.

However, I do have access to several 261 squadron log books and can confirm that V7670 was still with 261 Squadron in April 1941. Len Davies and Pain both flew it in April '41 as did other squadron pilots.

I suspect that the reason it was linked to Pains flight on April 25th is because there is a photograph of it in German markings in his log book on the dates appertaining to February.
However he flew it in March and April as well.

Not much help but it may save you wasting your time trying to establish what happened to it in February 41.

Gerry
