..just came across this on the net, and reminded me that I made a model of this aircraft as a kid.
Be a different and eye catching scheme for a Hurri.

Can’t imagine the BBMF doing LF363 like that somehow! :diablo:

The red Hurricane belonged to 527 Radar Calibration Squadron, Hornchurch 1943. The squadron’s aircraft were used for ground-to-air and air-to-air gun and radar calibration. The Hurricane was finished in high-reflectance red. In illustrations it varies from magenta through fire engine red to rust and even orange. It is one of the options on a recently released Iliad Designs decal sheet called ‘Strange Hurricanes.’ They give the colour as FS11105 – described as high-visibility bright red.
Only Hurricanes involved in none-operational flights to France carried invasion stripes. The Corgi model could have belonged the ADSL. These Hurricanes were fitted with specially adapted torpedo drop-tanks to carry important mail and despatches to and from France.

Is there a colour picture of a hurri in d-day stripes? I know corgi made a model of one but it would nice to see a hurri with the black and white stripes.
