Hurricane I of RAF 274 Sqn (s/n Z4312)

Hurricane I of RAF 274 Sqn (s/n Z4312)

Late 1940

This aircraft is based on a picture in the book 'Hurricanes over Tobruk' by Brian Cull and Don Minterne. The picture shows a rare view of the NH codes which soon gave way to a painted lightning flash through the fuselage roundel. The aircraft does not carry the individual code letter. The serial number is illegible, but Z4312 was a Hurricane that served with 274 Sqn at the time.
