Hi,

I would have thought more crew than two also, especially on this type of aircraft, particularly in this region at this stage of the war.

I would imagine that the crew may have been involved in the battles on other fronts previously, therefore with some experience behind them and presumably able to identify aircraft profiles. Could it be that the aircraft were Russian flown Hurricanes? Whilst an aircraft type might be recognised it isn't always possible to make out markings as we all know.

All conjecture, and depending on accuracy of memories after such a long time - it could be interesting to examine any bullet holes found in an effort to establish calibre, and possibly type of ammunition.

Regards,

David
