Hello Chaps,
Hope you can help me on this, I am looking the code letter and serial numbers of the Hawker Hurricanes that Anthony and Patrick Woods-Scawen used during the Battle of Britain.
I have this information but those Hurricanes were used before the Battle.
FT-C L1592 No 43 Squadron On June 1st, 1940 damaged a Bf109 but was hit by return fire, Pilot Officer Anthony Woods-Scawen unhurt.
VY-P N2319 No 85 Squadron On May 17th, 1940 shot down by Bf109, F/Lt Patrick Woods-Scawen baled out unhurt.
If you have pictures or more information please share with me.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you!
Thanks for your answer, I live in Mexico so I have some limits for my search, I know about the Woods-Scawen Brother’s cousin, he was with Tony and Patrick’s father the day when he received the DFC for his boys, also Una Lawrence was with them.
Gerald Woods-Scawen was shot down on October 3rd, 1941, Spitfire AB779 QJ-E.
Best Regards.

I believe the family came from Farnborogh area, a cousin was also lost in RAF service with 92Sqn in 1941
