Re: Buried Hurricanes in or around Murmansk? Another speculative question
The first four squadrons were based at Veanga, right by Murmansk. A number of other units were operating the Hurricane around Murmansk in 1942 as well and probably into 1943. The Hurricane swere operated by the Naval Air Arm more than the Air Force.
The Hurricane IIC in Revda is on the plinth. It was erected in 1990 I recall - first piece of non soviet hardware dedicated in a memorail. Never managed to ID it though had lots of plates. This featured in a Times Suppliment in 1990/91 or so and kick started the whole recovery process as the article mentioned dozens of airframes peppered around the tundra. regards Mark
