#1 SQN RCAF A2A during the BoB

[TACHEL]

Here are a few air to air shots of 1SQN Hurricanes during the BoB. Not the highest quality but considering the circumstances and rarity of such shots, I thought some might appreciate them. Enjoy!

Nice ones. Is there a source that deserves credit?

Part of the actual 401 SQN wartime photo album I'm currently cataloging then sending to Cold Lake.

Good stuff. A nice document to preserve. Why Cold Lake?

Great pics. However, it's doubtful that they were taken during the BoB, as the aircraft carry the 'Sky' tail band and spinner, introduced in December 1940.

Yep, good point.

Nice shots!

"Why Cold Lake?.

401 SQN was reformed on CF-18 at Cold Lake. Their heritage and artefacts had been preserved by AEROVISION Quebec since 1996. Reuniting the unit with its past.

Excellent point! I'll mark them as such in the archives. Cheers!
