Re: 46 Sqn. Hurricanes in Norway.

Hi. This has been a problem for some time. Had a long e-mail exchange with Andrew Thomas about these Hurricanes, and a friend of him at the Air Historical Branch suggested that "P2652" was a typo for 2352 which went to Norway. This must then be N2352. Andrew sent me a copy of P2652 movement card which confirm what you write. It never was with 46 Squadron. At least two Hurricanes were damaged while landing at Skaanland. One ended up on its back and was returned to Britain. The pilots seat was left behind and was in the safe keeping with an old friend of mine. If "P2652" was in fact N2352/PO-T, this aircraft was left behind together with N2543/PO-K and L1812(code not known).

Sorry, I'm still confused - not difficult!

Later messages correct the serial to N2652.
But N2652 wasn't left in Norway either. It was lost with 229 Sqn over the UK on 30 September 1940.
