Note for Andy.
Photo 3. Hurricane IIB, if she did go to Turkey, arrival date was 1 Sept. 43 when 274 Sqn. was at Derna, Libya; hence over-painted RAF insignia apart from tail flash which would be needed for ID on flight to Turkey. List of Hurricanes here. BE491 was Turkish serial 4215, all retired 1947........
