Re: Hurricane 20mm cannon armed -1940

Hi,
Roddick Lee Smith of 151 Squadron trialled 2 and 4 cannon versions of the hurricane during the Battle of Britain.
He first flew the two cannon version (L1750) on July 6th 1940 on a cannon test at Dengie flats. He went on to fly it operationally throughout the whole of July and the first few weeks of August.
He first flew the 4 cannon version (V7360) on August 22nd 1940.
Regards
Gerry
