Has, or can anyone point me to clear or enlarged images showing the types of external fuel tanks used by Hurricanes during the 1941-42 period when the aircraft were used on early intruder operations?
3(F) and 87 Squadron were two such squadrons engaged in such flights.
Many thanks.

Thanks very much:)
Any other images that come to light will also be appreciated. Were the filler caps Brass or alloy? is one question I would like answered by anyone in the know.
They are described as of plywood construction and varnished. I would like to know if, and what, material lined them to make them sound for the carriage of fuel.
