Osprey Aircraft of the Aces

Hello Tangmere1940,
Thank you very much for the pictures.

I check Aircraft of the Aces (Bf109) of Osprey Publishing because has the same pictures that you posted. I did not noticed that the markings is 12 I thought Arnold’s bf109 was 11.
The picture has no any comments regarding the German Pilot who flew this aircraft but you can read that was shot down on August 30th by Hurricanes of No 253 Squadron so we can say that S/L Tom Gleave was the pilot who shot him down.
Well I can say that using the book as reference but perhaps somebody could have another information.

Best Regards.

Underwing Roundels

Hello Tangmere,
Thank you very much for your comments.

Well Corgi does not show underwing roundels but Robert Taylor’s work shows.
Best Regards.

Chaps,
Thank you very much for your answers.

So Corgi made a mistake with the colour of the spinner, what about the fin stripes and the roundels of the lower surface (wings)?

Tangmere 1940,
Do you have a picture of the noseart (the red devil)?

Best Regards.

Geoffrey Allard Hurricane

Hello HurriRV7,
Thank you very much for your reply.

Yes you all right I am anxious to find Sammy Allard’s Hurricane, that I truly believe that is the aircraft but I am not sure right now.

The source came from a gentleman of Battle of Britain Historical Society, he told me that just three Hurricanes have that kind of camuflage.

Hurricane VY-K P3408 (third picture)
Hurricane VY-R P2923

But I do not have the Code Letter and Serial Number of the third Hurricane.
That probably it is the Sammy Allard (Second Picture).

And the Aircraft profile that I attached has no pictures references or something like that but I have my doubts because the spinner is not black so does not match with the second picture.

Best Regards.

A moment in time…

An excellent work of Geoff Nutkins:

You can see the spinner is in color red.

Thanks in advance.
