Re: Hurricane 20mm cannon armed -1940
Pilkington is interesting for other reasons. While instructing with 7 OTU, he was scrambled with several other instructor-pilots to intercept a Ju88. They were flying cannon-armed Spitfire I's (later, retrospectively re-designated Mk Ib). Pilkington was credited with a Ju88 shot down on that sortie.
Short bio, here, via an auction web-site: https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/a...04/lot-5371709 Took a while to find, but Pilkington and 7 OTU, previously discussed here: http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...t=Spitfire+OTU ...geoff
