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
