Hi,

Agree N2430, 19/5/40 .
Book "Men of the BoB" has P3539 as the Hurricane he was flying on the day he was killed.

And, Air Brit P1000 - R9999 has her as Engine cut: overturned in forced landing near Eglin, Moray, 25/4/41; cv to Mk.II DG634 during repair.

What is your reference for R4174 please ?

Thanks

alex

It was the 3/9/1940 of course, sorry for the typo
The battle of Britain Society said that he was flying P-3673

Unfortunately I don’t remember where I found R-4174 but it deserve to be checked

Following the computerrecords of the KLM-MRA museum archives in Brussels, Hanson belonged to the 17th Sqd (RAF) and crashed at Tournai on May 19th 1940...
