Re: Long-Range Hurricane II (internal tanks)
Okay, I have now found confirmation of the long-range, but nothing on the location of the tank. In AIR22-208 it states that No. 33 Squadron received LR Hurricanes which were most valuable in long-range intrusion missions to attack ground transport. It states also that 2 of these planes were received by 2 December 41, and others during the next few days. These first two were flown in by Fl/O Kelsall and Sgt. Dallas of No. 33, the planes coming from 53 R.S.U. to Giarabub. They are described as 'new long-range Hurricanes' in the ORB.
This could of course just refer to the normal LR version with underwing tanks?
All the best
Andreas
