Re: Hurricane photo
This is almost certainly one of the No.145 Squadron aircraft lost on operations over France late May - early June 1940 and possibly, as Michal & Peter say, one of three aircraft lost on May 27 in circumstances that could match the photograph. Based at Tangmere, their 'A' Flight moved to Manston on May 17 to form a composite squadron with 'B' Flight of No.601 Squadron. They flew across to Abbeville then on to Vitry for operations on May 17 returning to England that evening and operated from Merville on the following day. These were the only two occasions that they operated from airfields in France though they also flew several sorties over France from Manston.
Hope you enjoy the book, Mark.
