Oh, dear – don’t be confused!

“Said Hurricane flight” ? The one purporting to reach 39,000′? We all struggled to excel!
If yes, then yes.

And I accept that my entry was over enthusiastic!!

Seen before, I know, but love this one I took on the way up – http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/photo04/RAF2/nolt40.jpg

Thanks – thought so.

So back to the SOP 35,000′ on that patrol line.
All I know is that it was B++++Y cold – so much so that I failed to switch to reserve tank & had to return to base.

At least I was the first to trial electrically heated gloves . Luxury!!

Armour, Adrian?

No – it hit the starboard fuel tank. BBQ!!
