Dear all
My name is Santiago Hrubisko and with my father we have an interesting collection of ww2 aircrafts in British markings.
Right now, we have been working on our Hawker Hurricane collection. My father has already done 75 models out of the 105 selected.
Last week I found this article: http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal7…opoulos/00.shtm
but I got speechless when I saw this photo showing a Hurricane with a shark mouth http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal7…opoulos/03.shtm
Unfortunately this is the only photo I could found and the serial number nor the code letter can be seen.
I wonder if some of you have more information regarding this Hurricane or any other Hurricane in british markings with a shark mouth.
Also by seeing the photo of the Hurricane which is behind, I cannot recognize the type of the fuselage roundel. Could be possible that it was not a RAF roundel?. These Hurricane are Mk IIC so I supposed that shoudl be Type C1 but It does not looks like that.
Many thanks in advance
Kind regards
Santiago

Hi Malcom.
Thanks for looking. I think you are right. That Hurricane looks like she carried Greek markings
Instead of RAF ones.
We can be sure which marking had the shark mouth Hurricane but probably /reek roundels too.
Kind regards
Santiago

I think you will find that is the RHellenicAF roundel which had an insignia blue centre rather than the RAF insignia red centre. Common feature on RHAF aircraft in Nth Africa.
