Re: E-bay founds - Hurricane, probably France 1940 or Yugoslavia 1941
Quote:
you are probably very close - this photo is from old e-bay photo album/photo set , which covered war in South Europe (ex Yugoslavia, Greece and Crete). Can you please, or somebody else, share info about destroyed Yugoslavia Hurricanes on airfields for comparing with this set of photo. Faenor Last edited by Faenor; 23rd October 2020 at 20:31. |

Re: E-bay founds - Hurricane, probably France 1940
...but can be mistake.
Now I receive information, that Yugoslavian Hurricanes use different propeller/blades - can somebody check it? Thanks Faenor |

Only couple of license build Hurricanes allegedly used Yugoslav Rogozarski props but they look almost similar as DH props.
Even first imported batch of twelve Hurricanes received new three bladed props before the war. Aleks |

Re: E-bay founds - Hurricane, probably France 1940
I really don’t want to claim anything against it. But I would like to point to numerous back photo “additions” provided by sellers. Very often there is nothing on the back of the photo. There is a lot of ways to upgrade photo value. Sellers also use their companions as well. From my point of view (take it as subjective one) there is the freshest example. Photo of Yugoslav Hurricane with fuselage inscription “Stab JG 54” (never to be seen with any LW unit on thousands of “beute” machines before) was sold for 221 EUR. I would say that it worth every cent. It only bothers me that I never saw before that bidding on e-bay goes up from 11 EUR up to 220 EUR!!

do you have info about fate of all Yugoslavian Hurricanes? Maybe the list with fate can eliminate some candidates (crash during the fight, crash during training flights, captured and sold to Rumania etc) and info, if in some case Yugoslavian mechanics destroyed some machines on airfields. Thanks Faenor |
