Hurricane BN219 87 Squadron
On 19th August 1942 this aircraft flown by F/Lt Thom, was hit and damaged by AAA whilst strafing the Dieppe eastern headland. One bullet punctured the gycol tank, but the pilot was able to reach the UK, where he made a wheels up landing at East Dene, north of Newhaven. The aircraft sustained further damage after hitting a steel post during the landing. I'm trying to confirm whether the aircraft ended up as a Cat E or it if was later repaired.
Any ideas? Regards, Steve
