A hurricane Mk. 2 in France 1940-41????

Hello,
I am really out of my comfort zone now and hope someone can help me with this one.
Normally I am more like a "Luftwaffe-guy" and recently I got a Flugbuch from a Obl. Radünz, who had been flying with KG 55 during the Polish Campaign, was shot down in France and then were involved in bombing Britain in 1941.
Among his photos were these two pictures of a Hurricane, shot down in France?

Is it possible to find some information on this Hurricane anywhere?

Thank you very much in advance,

Christian

Was the German still with KG 55 in Nov 41 as by then he should have been in Russia?
