Re: 1940 Hurricane loss photograph - France
Hi
I suppose this means the photo I have packed away of a HE coded hurricane needs to be rechecked,as it may not be 263 Sqn ... cheers Jerry |

Re: 1940 Hurricane loss photograph - France
Hi Andy
Interesting picture. That Hurri looks in remarkably good condition - no damage to the upper prop tip; and from its tilted-forward angle perhaps the belly scoop wasn't even severely crushed as you'd expect. Makes me wonder if it could even have made a wheels-down landing on the sand? Looking forward to finding out more as the details piece together bit by bit. Ian |
