Martin Gleeson is an unknown quantity at this point
46 Sqn. Hurricanes in Norway.

Apparently 18 of their Hurricanes arrived in Norway during late May 1940. I have their ORB and am aware of the 10 lost in HMS 'Glorious' plus a few others lost in action or accidents.
However were any of the remaining Hurricanes shipped back to the UK in cargo vessels ? Looking at the serials for the 18 sent to Norway it seems that four served in the UK and elsewhere after June 1940 (L1798, L1814, L1892 & P2652), but what I need to know is are there any references in official documents or publications to any Hurricanes being shipped back to the UK.

Regards,

Martin Gleeson.
