Hurricane model.

Hi

Very nice photo! Might bid for it.

As the majority of Hurricanes that went to Russia were MkIIA's, IIB's, IIC's and even IID's, I suppose it is a MkII. From memory I do not know of any MkI's going out. I do know that 100 were upgraded from MkI's to MkIIA's by Rolls-Royce and most of these did go to Russia. The ID was originally MkI but when lost in Russia were MkII's. (An example of this is the Hurricane ZK-TPK in New Zealand. It was originally P3351 but was upgraded to DR393).

Almost certain it is a IIA or IIB.

regards

MS
