Question Hawker Hurricane shot down near Sedan

Hello guys,

I have a good question for you.

I found near Sedan a Hurricane I that I can’t identify.

1. This is a Hurricane made by Hawker and not by Gloster.
2. This is a Mark I.
3. Witnesses said she was shot down on May 14th 1940 but this is absolutely not certain but in any case before 1941 (so I guess)…
4. No trace of personal item of the pilot found on site, so pilot probably baled out (French site on may 14th 1940).
5. Aircraft shot down in wood.
6. one piece :

Hawker Aircraft limited
Kingston-on-Thames
England
HURRICANE I Aircraft
Protected by british patent N° S
282926 286482
292?26 314131
440358
British Patent Application n° S

7. One Piece :
Elevator Starb
DRG-099920/1
SFR-
PA/41?/99313
PA 6 AID GO7
Date 21-7-39

Two questions for top specialists from this famous forum TOCH:
1. What does this mark mean: PA?
2. What are the serial numbers of Hurricane mark I made by Hawker between July 1939 to June 1940?

Let’s hope we could identify this one. This is not Jeffries’s one… Have a good fun…

Arnaud
