Loss of "Grand National" Winner

Hello,
Confirmation please.
Twice a Grand National Winner, (UK and Ireland).
Cam Ship pilot hero.

Lt. Robert William Hanmer Everett, D.S.O, 804 Sqn FAA.
Lost his life on 26th January 1942, when his Hawker Hurricane crashed on a beach at Llanddona, Anglesey, Wales.

Can anyone confirm or otherwise the serial number of the Hurricane please ?

Reason for question is that the only one I have is one that has been recorded as being "left behind in France" May 1940, see my earlier post "19 Hurricane's Left behind ?".

Thanks
Alex

Re: Loss of "Grand National" Winner

Hello,
Am embarrassed
This Hurricane was well known to have been P3452.
I made an error in that I did not check my refs but just assumed I had the correct info to hand.
Will now have to correct my earlier !Left behind in France" post also
Alex

Another National winner (1940) was Mervyn Jones, later lost in a PRU Spitfire in 1942
