Re: General theme for Hawker Hurricane during Phoney War and BoF
....answering my own question:
From Peter Cornwell's "Battle of France - Then and Now":
19-May-1940 (p.321), notes that 87 Sqn Hurricane P2819 LK-G was badly damaged in the control wires and main longerons (fuselage structure) during air combat with Bf109s. The aircraft was repairable but abandoned (I assume at 87 Sqn's base Lille-Marcq ).
Cross referencing with Rawlings' "Fighter Squadrons of the R.A.F." :
87 Sqn is recorded as operating a Hurricane I - LK-G P2829. Perhaps a typo?
Your thoughts?
