Re: Hurricane lost 9 December 1939

Maybe Peter will be interested by the following information :
on Saturday 11 May 1940, Sqn/Ldr Tomlinson from 17 Sqn landed at Hingene (airfield n°15) with his Hurricane N2547 riddled with bullets and short of fuel. At 19.15 h, the SRD/Aé (Service de Réparation et de Dépannage de l'Aéronautique Militaire) received a message from the II./Aé saying to dismantle and convoy this aircraft to Wevelgem.
I don't know whether this Hurricane ended at Wevelgem or not...
