G-ORDY,

A Google on ‘Hurricane Z3687’ elicits some fascinating information on its combat and later experimental service with a laminar flow wing, the latter resulting in an interesting poser for the ‘Roundel Police’.

I urge you view this wonderful website of Barry Clay, where I have downloaded a couple of images.

Happy New Year to all ‘Flyposters’

Indeed interesting position of the roundel.

old roundel on the wing but new one on the fuselage.

Yes, it appears so. I don’t see the bort number VAM-310 anywhere, though- does anybody else? Also, is that the flag about halfway down the tail fin? It may have been painted out.

Carrying the low vis roundel the flag was not applied.
