Hi all,

another Hawker Hurricane Mk. I probably from France 1940:

https://www.ebay.de/itm/374168007343...gAAOSwatFixuAd

Squadron code are slightly visible - GZ - so definetelly 32. Sq.
But which serial number - P2727?

I have another Hurri with marking GZoV, but it looks like different plane.

Any comment is welcome

Faenor

- I believe that the photo does show P2727 but according to https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/228832 (i know!!!) - but 2 things inconsistent the Sqn code is V (not F) and fact he forced landed not bailed out code defo P?7?7 and looks like a 2

Hawker Hurricane Mk.I P2727 (GZ-F) 32 Squadron, RAF: Written off (destroyed) when lost (failed to return) from a Combat Air Patrol over Dunkirk. Pilot bailed out and survived. According to the official Air Ministry file into the incident (File AIR 81/763): "Hurricane P2527 [*sic] crash landed near Calais, France, 2 June 1940. Sergeant Dermot Flynn: prisoner of war"

Airborne from RF Biggin Hill, Bromley, Kent for a combat air patrol over Dunkirk. Shot down by enemy action (presumed by Flak/AAA, as no enemy claims made for this aircraft in air to air combat). Crew into the sea off Calais; pilot bailed out, and survived, but was captured, and taken as a PoW

Crew of Hurricane P2727:
Sergeant Dermot Flynn (pilot, #520659); bailed out, survived, captured, and became a PoW. Interned at PoW camp 357 (Kopernikus) as PoW no. 68

Looks very much like P2727.
I wonder from where the code GZ-F comes from?
None of the listed sources have such a code, only GZ-?
Since I only have Franks' book in the first edition, I don't know if there is such a code in the 2nd one.
Only problem seems to be if the pilot bailed out or not.
It certainly looks like a pilot has had some kind of control when making the landing we can see...

Cheers

I have a photo with a different shot of this plane. The upper part of the numbers is visible. I am 99% sure the number is P2727
