hi
It might be worth researching the local county police war diaries, usually held in the county record office
or the civil defence war diaries, ( used to be in the taunton record office )
Or 67MU records at the NA kew, ( they were the south west recovery unit )
They usually give a more accurate site location, as the official card was usually vague on location, unless it gave the wartime grid map reference
Cheers
Jerry

Hi there, just talking with my father in law about what his fathers role during WW2, he was one of Churchill's GHQ Auxiliary Units around Wellington in Somerset. My Father in Law mentioned that his Dad went to/attended a "Spitfire" crash just outside Wellington in Hollywell Lake at Pinksmore Lane. If was reported that the pilot lost his life in the crash but Interestingly the pilot involved in this crash was Polish, maybe this is your Hurricane rather than the reported Spitfire? If you look on the maps Wellington is not far from the runway or The Merry Harriers ( pub not there now by the way, burnt down a few years ago). Hope this helps?
