Hurricane L2116

This Hurricane was supposed to have shot down the first enemy A/C of the war over the British Isles. Anyone happen to know the squadron code, I believe this be FT-? (43 Sqn RAF)

I think that at one time it was FT-B.

L2116 was eventually lost in France, having been forced-landed by Tom Rowlands.

Here is the control column from L2116 given to me by a Frenchman who had “liberated” it from the wreck after Rowlands landing.
