captured hurricane photo ( UP-M )
Hi
Any suggestions on this a/c pretty sure the caption is wrong, as the tail band came in dec 40 ? https://www.flickr.com/photos/142575440@N02/33491748041 cheers jerry Last edited by brewerjerry; 7th July 2019 at 20:43. Reason: extra info |

Re: captured hurricane photo
Agreed. The snow on the wing (and tail?) doesn't point to the May campaign. The underside colour is neither the black, white nor Aluminium seen on Hurricanes at this time. The tall fin flash does suggest an early addition, but such errors were retained for some time.

many thanks for the pics, the new photo gives a code and the front view, i think confirmation of nov/dec 40, maybe jan 41 or even april..ish 41 latest ? due to the camo scheme in the pic i linked is the fuselage code that of 605 sqn ? anyone know the hurricane losses around about then ? just need a serial to complete the story cheers jerry |

Re: captured hurricane photo
"UP" Aft of the roundel with "M" shown forward of the roundel on both sides of the fuselage.
So Sqdn code would be "UP". 4, 222 and 605 Sqdns. Just looked in FCL vol1, page 106 2 February 1941 605 Sqn Hurricane II Z2329 Sgt. K.H. Jones - Pow Drifted over the North Sea( shot down ? ). Landed on German airfield in error, set a/c on fire with Very pistol, Stalag Lift 6, Heydekrug. A second 605 Sqn a/c was lost this day, Z2308 Sgt H.W. Pettit Shot down, drifted over North Sea, KNG. Question Could it be foam and not snow, as it seems to be under the a/c but no wheel tracks ? |
