Re: delcampe photo

The photograph can be dated to later than August 1940 by the dark (Night) underside of the port wing and the necessary light ring around the roundel. This rules out P3465, and the curved appearance of the first character rules out P2465. This seems to leave P3485.

August 1942 would be a very late date for a Mk.I to be flying combat missions over Western Europe. Or, indeed, anywhere other than Sea Hurricane Mk.Is on Operation Pedestal. Was it converted to a Mk.II?
