Re: Hurricane losses in Malta.
Hi Michele
I think you will fortunate to find monthly situation reports for Malta, particularly for 1940/early 1941 - the majority of records were for his period were destroyed - particularly for 261 Squadron. It has taken me many years of research and contact with former members (mostly now gone) to reconstruct 261's history on the island.
Regarding Hurricane serials - to use your example - Z3495 is the serial number, any suffix is the individual aircraft letter (nothing to do with modifications).
Hope this helps
