I’m not sure of the picture you’re referring to, but I have seen Hurricane Mk.I KW-W listed as L1829, although I don’t know if that’s accurate or not. L1829 is shown as being flown by P/O A.J.J. Truran on August 15, 1940 and he was able to return to Kenley with shrapnel wounds in one leg when L1829 was damaged by Bf 109s over Folkestone.

If this information turns out to be correct, then KW-W’s sister ship from 615 Squadron, L1592 KW-Z is hanging in the Science Museum at South Ken.
