Re: Hurricane armament during the FC of 1940 & BoB
Larry
I will try to source the information from the relevant Hurricane I Air Publication for you. That ought to be the authoratative number! Thanks for your PM. Will reply later. Andy

Re: Hurricane armament during the FC of 1940 & BoB
The Air Publication for the Hurricane IIA (8 guns) gives 3,270 rounds. Since the IIA and the I had identical wings I think it would be reasonable to assume they ought to have had the same ammo capacity? At least, unless there was a Mod on the IIA that I don't know about. The only way I can check (in the absence of any AP for the I) is to discover the part numbers for the ammo trays on the I and the IIA respectively. (Not impossible!) If they are the same part number then I think you could surely go with 3,270 - although I appreciate this does not conform to any of the other figures quoted.
As a matter of interest (although irrelevant to your query) the IIB with twelve guns had an ammo capacity of 4,580 rounds.
