Hurricane P3533
Hurricane P3533 had been alocated to 46 Squadron during 1940, but evidently did not reach that squadron before they withdrew from Norway. Instead, it seems to have been "diverted" to another squadron operating in France where it was evidently lost during May 1940.
I have attached a photograph of one of the ejector chutes recovered from a crash site in France which would seem to indicate the crash location of P3533. The pilot was evidently killed in the crash. I am not currently at liberty to identify the crash location, but I am hopeful that someone might be able to attribute P3533 to a specific squadron. Obviously, it is not 46 Squadron and the AM Form 78 failed to specify the alternative squadron to which it was obviously issued. Can anyone help?
