Re: Buried Hurricanes in or around Murmansk? Another speculative question

Hurricanes were continued to be delivered to Russia well after Eric Carter left the area. They saw considerable service in the front line, and presumably as fighter trainers later, but not in the Murmansk area. Postwar they continued in use as weather aircraft, and one example was even placed on a plinth outside Murmansk, although I don't know the date it was first erected and this may well not have been in Stalin's time.

This sounds to me more like a postwar "black propaganda" story rather than anything he could have personally witnessed or had direct knowledge of.
