98 Squadron/1523 Flight Iceland 1941
Hi guys
In June 1941, 98 Squadron flying obsolete Battles from Iceland, was disbanded, but was immediately ordered to re-equip with a dozen Hurricanes from storage, and take on the mantle of 1423 Flight under the command of Flt Lt Jack Bachmann. However, this order was almost immediately rescinded, the Flight disbanded, and all relevant aircrew returned to the UK. What was the reasoning behind the thinking to make Hurricanes available but then withdraw them? I believe that only four Hurricanes were uncrated and air tested - Z4037, Z4042, Z4048 and Z4049. Any thoughts appreciated. Stay safe Brian Last edited by BrianC; 1st December 2021 at 15:46.
