Hi Terry.

The short answer is yes we would like to do something later in the year.

However this year will be very busy, especially as its the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain for one, plus Airshows and various Veteran signings around the country.

That said we are in the planning stage for a possible event in August again at North Weald, i will post more details on this forum later so watch this space.

I should point out that the reason for using North Weald, is that we are able to combine Aircraft and Veterans at one Venue, which is the whole idea behind ‘Keeping Memories Alive’.

My Best wishes

Hi Mark V.

You are quite correct, just as well we have the use of a Hangar, looks like we are going to need it.

Hurricane Photo

I have been researching the L-SERIAL Hurricanes for a number of years.

What proof is there for this Hurricane having served with 607 Squadron, is it because of the code AF-U.

If so may i just mention that the codes AF were also used by the Air Fighting Development Unit from 1940 to 1945.

I have some references to Hurricane L1684 having served with the A.F.D.U. so this could well be this Aircraft.

F/O B.L.Duckenfield later G/C.(ex 501 sqd B of B)
Flew L1684 3 times on the 1st October 1940 when the Unit was Stationed at Northolt.

SGT R.J.W.Brown later W/C. (ex 111 Sqd B of B)
Flew Hurricane AF-U 4 times during February 1941 the unit was by then Stationed at Duxford.

Hope this info may help

Best wishes
