....and now I see Sea Hurricane Mk.XIIs with stars during Operation Torch. Who'd a thunk
US Hurricane Mk.IId in Kunming, China, May, 1942.
I would have thought the first Hurricane was likely to be in the tropical scheme (Dark Earth/Mid Stone), unless the Americans messed with it (but why would they?).
I find it is best not to go looking for Zebras in a pasture full of donkeys, though I have no idea what might have happened to a Mk II between the factory and Kunming.

I like the translation for the Kummimg Hurricane...."In May 31st of the Republic of China, the enigmatic British Hurricane Mk.IId fighter jet was in Kunming" Anyone make out the second letter of it? I have M*805

Good example of A and B camo schemes.
Early models, I would guess in the 1938 temporary cammo scheme of the Munich crisis, when the squadron codes were painted over.
