Hawker Hurricane crash October 22nd 1941
Hi,
A bit of a needle in a hay stack. Looking to ID pilot, squadron and serial of a Hawker Hurricane that crashed at RAF East Wretham on October 22nd 1941. The pilot was French, and the Hurricane was badly damaged. Any help appreciated. Steve

No need to Steve
He can read what we all say on TOCH but he cannot become a member. Some glitch in the system. Cheers Stig |
