Hurricane in Hanger - France

Hi all

This photo was of interest to me - Hurricane in France.

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=300162573181

I am assuming it is LK-L of 87Sqn, damaged and left at 'Calais', France in May.June 1940.Looking at the damage I would guess the aircraft flipped over - no fin, crushed windscreen, broken canopy and crushed rear fuselage behind cockpit.

Unfortunately serial is readable. I did read though that Bee Beaumont flew LK-L P3374? I assume it is not the same one?

I also see 'Sudek 13' got this for 19.87Euro - pretty good price.

Any thoughts on when this Hurricane was damaged?

regards

Mark
