Re: Belgian Hurricane's
Hi
Yes subject had been almost smashed some times ago. :-)
BAF got 15, the rest 4 were force landed and "handed over" to BAF as a "supply" from RAF (the 5 not yet delivered by GB).
The next 2 were home made but not included into miliatry inventory. One was on the airfiled but not yet he was taken the inventory of fighter squadron as on 10 V 1940. He stayed single separated form the British-made
Strange numbers - maybe to hidden the real HC numbers, if you put the digits more the 20 you have from the ground "more planes" in the air, almost twice, tree times, the real figure :-)
Big H-37 or H-39 on HC in air means for land spys, there are about 40 HC in BAF not any about 10-15 servicable (other were crashed, shot-down damaged ect!). This is only my private assumption and nothing more.
BTW, the book was edited in 2001 not 2000 (HC in FS) .
