72modeler Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) I found this just now while trolling for interesting Hurricane photos, and I thought it would make for interesting viewing. On the 9th row down are some very interesting Hurricane IIc's with invasion stripes that were used for courier duty during the Normandy invasion.. I hope they are new to many of you.

Caption stated that it was used as a courier aircraft during D-Day. Serial was not given, but maybe @Troy Smith might know it. Pretty Hurricane! Mike used during D day 01 Image not showing Mike. Funnily enough, you asked about these planes before..... https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234963507-all-the-hurricane-questions-you-want-to-ask-here/page/62/#elControls_3547555_menu Which does list one, and also other serials of the unit. cheers T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn these faulty old Mk 1a memory banks! I edited the posted photos- hopefully they can now be opened. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hmm, just noticed something I hadn't, on this shot: https://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Hurricane/Hawker-Hurricane/pages/Hurricane-IIc-RAF-1697ADLS-courier-aircraft-at-Le-Bourget-France-1944-IWM-BU1672.html At the top of the hood's rear arc, there's a "cutout" section, which would (I presume) make it easier for the hood to flex inward as it was slid aft.

Simon Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Aeroplane Magazine of April 2015 had a five page article about 1697 (ADLS) Flight. It has a few photos, plus a list of Hurricanes used by them, including with and without the D-Day stripes. Regards Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't give me a link, so now I'm confused It was, Mike, but after trying to delete it several times, and not finding how to do the same, I just edited out all of the bad photo links and just posted a link to the website that had the photos. I'm sorry if I have added to your already stressful site responsibilities. You can leave the post as it is currently configured.
