1940 Hurricane loss photograph - France
I chanced upon some interesting original Battle of France (and later) photos of RAF losses today.
One shows a 504 Squadron Hurricane down on a French beach with German soldiers inspecting. It is intact and coded HE - T. It carries the 504 Sqn badge on the white of the fin flash and the 'T' is repeated in white on the cowling between the exhaust stack and spinner. It has the early pole-type aerial mast. There is no sign of damage and no visible serial number.
Any ideas?
