Re: Very early VVS Hurricane loss (E-Bay photos)
Hello!
Mirek, thank You for the activity.
Forgot to add this in my opening post:
In his Red Stars 4 book (Lend-Lease planes) Carl-Fredrik Geust has listed 39 of the 40 Hurricane individuals of the 151 Wing (Fate of one Hurricane is unclear). None of them has RAF serial ending with digits ...40.
On the other hand Z4006, Z4018 from 81 sqn and Z4012 and Z4013 from 134 sqn were at Vajenga. If the last two serial digits were painted over, these could be candidates. The photo is not too clear in this regard.
I guess the plane in the photos is one of the first ones delivered directly to VVS. And I agree VVS SF unit is more probable.
Cheers,
Kari
