Unfortunately my Mac is off to be looked at and I am not in work until next week.

When I spent 5 years researching Hurricane P3351 in New Zealand I managed to ID a number of Hurricanes just to establish that P3351 was coded K.

In your email.

I am inclined to believe this Hurricane, P2976, belonged to 73 Squadron. It is worth noting in Don Minterne's extensive listing of 73 Squadron Hurricanes from 1938 to October 1940 that he does not seem to have a TP-C or C before July 1940. This raises the serious possibility in my mind that the C in this photo could be a 73 Squadron aircraft, along with the probability that it was found in the Reims area. July 1940.

Hurricane P3034 flew in June/July 1940 with 73 Sqn and was coded C. It was damaged at the end of July at Prestwick. P2953 was coded L. I have 18 Hurricanes and serials with 73 Sqn and that flew back to Tangmere on the 18th June. I willlook next week. Also P2975 did also belong to 73 Sqn.
