Is this one of the all black intruder Hurricanes? No roundels on the top wings?
If so, why no cannons?
I actually initially dismissed it as pretty uninteresting. Hopefully someone can make a bit more out of it than me....

It certainly looks like 4841 to me, which by the production list I have would make it Z4841, a Hurricane I from Block 3 produced by from Gloster as part of an order for 1700 a/c. The block was delivered between July 1940 and August 1941, this a/c possibly early in 1941 if they were produced in serial number order. 53 of the block were used as instructional/maintenance airframes.
