Re: eBay: Allied intrest

All I think it is VY-P as well - So 85 Sqn machine - of course N2319 is a well known VY-P and photos of it are on the Internet - but it has a white hexagon on the fin.. So almost certainly not that one - Also the Sqn code looks like it is painted over the serial which a correspondent of mine says looks like '2-3-8-9 ; P / R'


Air Britain serials has Mark I, N2319 'VY-P' presumed lost in France May 1940

but BoFTaN has

May 17th 1940

85 SQUADRON, LILLE-SECLIN Hurricane N2319. Believed shot down in combat with Bf109s of 11.1.1G26 west of Douai 4.00 p.m. Pilot Officer P. P. Woods-Scawen baled out slightly wounded. Aircraft a write-off.
