Hurricane in Hanger - France

[markjsheppard]

Hi all

This photo was of interest to me - Hurricane in France.

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=300162573181

I am assuming it is LK-L of 87Sqn, damaged and left at 'Calais', France in May.June 1940.Looking at the damage I would guess the aircraft flipped over - no fin, crushed windscreen, broken canopy and crushed rear fuselage behind cockpit.

Unfortunately serial is readable. I did read though that Bee Beaumont flew LK-L P3374? I assume it is not the same one?

I also see 'Sudek 13' got this for 19.87Euro - pretty good price.

Any thoughts on when this Hurricane was damaged?

P3374 belonged to a black out batch of Hurricanes, so never used.
Not sure what Roland "Bea" Beamont could have flown since I only have one serialnumber of his in France and that is L1963.

I notice your spelling is different, so maybe you are talking about a totally different Guy? Anyway, no matter who he is he cannot have flown a Cane with that serialnumber....

Cheers

Should have check and done my homework first.

Bea of course and http://www.pewteraircraft.com/DIORAM...f%20France.htm

No idea where this came from. Will look at the serials.
