Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Martin,


Thank you for your reply. I have seen so many burnt-out British aircraft with no identification. The resting position of this particular aircraft meant the fire burnt out and left what you see.

Most unusual. I am just glad one more piece of information has been added to the historical record.


Best,
Ed

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Luck was with me as I can identify the Hurricane 'V' posted by Marco in #1819 as P3453. Other photos of this aircraft have appeared on EBay, showing the same few pieces of vegetation as camouflage (!), the bent panel under the nose and with the serial number.
The Form 78 aircraft history card shows that P3453 was officially taken on charge by 501 Squadron on 28-5-1940. The only entry after that is to record that it was 'Struck off Charge May 1940'. Of course it could just as easily have bben lost during June.

Regards,

Martin.

Hi all, it is Hurricane Mk. I P3453 - Lost in France 5.40.

There is more photos, where the serial number is visible. I can share them, just contact me via PM
