Re: Hurricane P3426 and other ebay Hurricanes
Just a thought. How about this.

20th May 1940. Hurricane 'P2634'. Shot down by ground fire during attack on enemy armour and crash landed west of Arras 2.30pm. Pilot Officer T C Parker of 79Sqn unhurt. Aircraft a write off.

Hurricane P2634 could easily be P3426. P3426 in the photo - the 'B' does not look like the style of 85 Sqn.

P3426 force landed, the pilot survived and interestingly same area, same date and same type of combat??

Perhaps Shrewbury was flying P2634? Everything else is basically the same.

regards

Mark
