Is it a Hawker Hurricane? (1 Viewer)

[Dr.Mabuse]

Hi everyone,

i am new to this forum.

I am in the local histoy club of my hometown. For 80 years end of ww2, we try to do some little biography of very few fallens from my hometown and i asked for pictures. I got a big album with different photos. Not all are from ww2 and those which are, arent only from the fallen person. Photos of survived relatives of the guy who gave me the album, are also included. So it is hard to tell which photos are from the one who got killed in action and whose photos are from the survived ones.

That is it.

I am not sure about the type of Airplane, but it is maybe a Hawker Hurricane. I have no more photo of the damaged airplane. Only this photo.

It seems the enemy pilot survived, at leaset i hope so. It also seems someone, propaply Germans, stripped the wreckage.

If it is not a Hawker Hurricane, what Airplane is it=

Thanks for the reply!

Best regards

Dr.Mabuse

I doubt it is a Hurricane used by the Free French squadrons because these all were used in the North Africa. The landscape doesn't seem to be the TO one. IMHO that's is the RAF Hurricane shot down somewhere in France 1940 or a little bit later. Also the tone of the roundel noticed on the port wing top suggests the RAF one but not the French because the one was different of the colour order.

Thank you sir!

One more bit: there appears to be a corner of the letter T below and behind the sliding canopy. This could be a clue to the squadron if one wanted to do a deep dive into this particular aircraft, though it's not likely to narrow it down to just a few possibilities.
