Hurricane pic needed

I am in need of a pic of AVM K. Parks Hurricane MK I that he flew in the BoB. The a/c was coded OK*1. I have tried google and other web searches but no joy. Can any help by posting a pic or giving me a lead. I’ve also tried the IWM and the RAF Museum but again no joy. TIA:(

Hi Cajun,
Septic and I spent some time trying to track down accurate info on both Park’s real Hurricanes and the one in the BoB Film. The shot Mark12 posted is indeed from the BoB film.

In sort we came up with nothing after many years of digging. We didn’t (I don’t recall anyway) trying the RNZAF Museum. Perhaps worth a go. This was in the hold days of writing letters and waiting, not just googling.

I have a drawn b&w profile of the Hurricane illustrated that I did, but again, it’s the film machine, not, I presume, what you want?

Good luck!

Thanks Mark. This is the first one I’ve ever seen of Park’s a/c. Am I wrong or does it appear to be a MK II? This may be the one used in BoB movie. I have a shot of Park’s MK IIC (coded OK*2) that he flew in Malta after the BoB where he was assigned as AOC.
