Hurricane in German markings

[PzV]

I picked up a fighter pilots group and this photo of a captured Hurricane was among the photos. I wish it was a bit sharper but still quite seldom.

here was also a nice photo of a 109 with heavy guns under the wings

and last but not least of a 109 in north Africa (according to the flight book this flyer had a number of flights over Tobruk, Benghasi etc.)

That is a great photo of the Hurricane. It looks like it is a well known one as Corgi have a model available of it...

And according to this 2005 thread on 12 OCH Forum the aircraft featured in a magazine article about 'captive' Hurricanes...

According to a thread on LEMB Forum it states.. Hawker Hurricane MK I German code: DF+SC Used at Rechlin Magdeburg during 1942. It is falsely reported as DF+GC. After use at Rechlin it went to Ausb.Gr.102 (JFS 2).

Here is the LEMB thread about captive Hurricanes and shows another photo of the aircraft (you might need to register to access the site)...
