Could it be a Kestrel-engined Master ?

I would say spot on Udf

The under belly air intake fits and also the (now missing glass) landing light in the port wing.

A number of Miles aircraft were taken to France and used as 'hacks' and this seems to be one of them.

Cheers

Thanks for a good point - I change the name of the topic, if someone was looking for this information in the future

Thanks Faenor

I would say you have a mix of two Hurricanes and a single Master in these three shots.

Hi,


The caption gives Auchy-au-bois and this village is just beside (south) of the airfield of Norrent-Fontes/Rely.

At least two Masters were used, not as hacks, but to convert Gladiator pilots from 607 and 615 Squadrons onto the Hurricane.
