The photo in post#277 is the first where I have seen the Light Series Carrier fitted on a Hurricane. Interesting!

Interesting .. the same pic wiht the another one of the Hurricane can be found on the World War Photos site. The caption there says ... Hurricane AF993 Rhodesian Air Training Group. So .. not the North Africa but the Southern Africa rather.

I am with special ed in that I have not run across this before, not even a passing mention in literature.

NOTE: Moved my question to the Aircraft Requests section.

Nice camo

If I can remember the leading edges and nose were painted to resemble camouflage on Italian fighters when the Hurris were conducting ground attack ops. This is a tropicalised Mk.I. Information and a nice model here:
