great photo of another Battle of France Hurricane and new information for Peter Cornwell.

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=270288561211

Acoridng to the records and Peter Cornwell in Battle of France 'Then and Now' Hurricane P2676 should be in thousands of pieces - belonging to 229 Sqn with P/OD de C C Gower being shot down by JG2 on 18th May 1940 with GOwer bailing out. Looks more as though Gower belly landed though not a lot of damage.Trying to work out if it was coded RE and weathered - though it does look like it was coded 'C'.

Great photo. One of a number of Hurricanes on flat beds that never got back to the UK.

regards

Mark
