Re: Hurricane lost 9 December 1939
Hi Peter C. and Mirek,
There is little I can add. H.39 was lost during the crash by Capt. van den Hove on 2 March 1940. But H.39 was not the plane that landed in Esplechin. Like Peter C. wrote this a/c was discovered in the hangar of the Wevelgem airfield.
Personally I do not think the Belgian had several three bladed Hurricanes in service, and I'm wondering how H.39 ended up in the Aéronautique? It may have been given to compensate the incident of 9 September 1939???
