Hello,
From "FAA Aircraft 1939 to 1945".

Barracuda II, P9859 a bit of a puzzle

"RY25.6.43; 815 Sqn Lee, dived in from 3,000 ft on fighter evasion practice, Cheriton, 10 mm SE of Worthy Down, Cat Z 13.11.43 (S/L. N J Daly killed).BUT 756 Sqn Katukurunda, fuel supply failure, ditched, Cat Z 24.12.43 (S/L D B Hayter RNZN OK)."

Sea Hurricane Ib, Z4686 759 Sqdn Collided with Z4500 in dogfighting exercise, crashed Thurlaxton, near Taunton 13.11.43, S/L. N. MacLeod killed.

Sea Hurricane Ib Z4500, 759 Sqdn, S/L. P. Basssingthwaite killed.

Perhaps A different Barracuda than P9859, possibly P9889 ? 815 Sqn 1.10.43 to 11.43.
