A pilot of 176 Squadron, who normally flew Beaufighters equipped with
Radar was lost flying one of these Mark VI equipped Hurricanes (it
seems) against Japanese Zeros. See this link for more on Pilot Officer
Pring.

The action described in the link I gave is the one in which Flying
Officer (rather than Pilot Officer) Pring was killed (as was
another pilot).

Hope I got it all right. It is so easy to get such specific details
wrong.

It's all interesting stuff and I hope something turns up.
