What is it about 229Sqn Hurricanes in France. Is this the third in as many postings and is just as confusing.

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=370101403078

Hurricane RE-Z V6704 of 229 Sqn - Northolt 10.40 shot down by Bf109's 26.10.40. P/O D B H McHardy rescued unhurt but does not say POW or rescued by who? Are these not a load of Luftwaffe personnel doing around this overturned Hurricane when it was lost in the UK?

The V looks a bit wobbly but cannot connect any other serials with the number 6704

It is a MkI
Assume RE-Z = possibly a few other possibilities.
No evidence flaps down - undercarriage would be hidden?
Tail does not look too damaged for a turn over.
Is it on sand?

Something does not add up here.

regards

Mark
