The links don't work if you click on them - they go to a webmail.demon.co.uk page. They do work if you copy and paste them though.

The 2-blade prop also suggest an early unit.

Re: Couple more Hurricanes in France
First one is 3 Sqn Hurricane and is probably one of the loses from Mid May 1940. Not possible to give any more info as a few force landed and was then abandoned.

The second has a watts two bladed prop. It looks look its either a 1Sqn or a 73Sqn machine abandoned on an airfield. German vehicles in the background? Also looks like hundres of suitcases?

regards

Mark
