The antenna structure is described as follows.

The aerial system on BN288 (A standard MkIIC) comprised a Type 69
transmitting dipole taken from the Mosquito AI installation, which
needed moving inboard of the landing light to clear the guns, Defiant
Type 29 unipole arrays for the elevation elements and vertically
polarised azimuth dipoles taken from the night-fighter version of the
Fairey Fulmar.

So armed with that description here is a picture that I generated a
while ago and posted the other day, in case it helped jog a memory.

I'm intrigued by this thread and am interested to see what will
turn up, if only because I find it difficult to imagine how they
could squeeze in the equipment needed, not least the Indicator Unit
in the cockpit.

I'd never heard of radar-equipped Hurricanes before but have since
found a couple of references to them.

One source (Edward Shacklady's book on the Hurricane) says, almost
in passing, that they had a Mk V radar in an underwing 'container'
(autumn 1941, apparently). In other words, not the Mk VI you
referred to and not the arrangement you drew.

The other reference is an on-line account by a Beaufighter
navigator of a 176 Squadron action in which 3 of their Hurricanes
were shot down and a fourth damaged beyond repair. This mentions
that "To enable the Hurricanes to carry radar they were stripped of
their armour protection".

No pictures, of course.
