Radar Equipped Hurricane IIc picture needed. - Hurricane IIc with antenna (Diagram).jpg (0/1)
I am hoping that someone can help with this research project.
I am looking for pictures of one of these aircraft. A Hurricane IIc with AI Mark VI installed. There were approximately a dozen made witha 'flight' (4 or possibly 6) being sent to Calcutta and seeing service there in 1943. ANY picture would be welcome. (including cockpit details) I have attached a diagram of my own creation in case anyone needs there memory jogged. Hope someone has something. Waldo. |

A quick search of my Hurricane books shows that No 176 Squadron flew some Mk.IICs with AI in India. I haven't got any pictures, though. -- Peter Ying tong iddle-i po! |

Thanks for trying Peter, I already knew those details however.
I know how many were sent, their serial numbers - that they were field modded to have their armor removed... details of the kills achieved .... their losses, when they were withdrawn from service. Everything but an actual single picture - or some official diagram of the install details. These planes are rapidly turning into my White Whale. I have a desciption of the installation but no pictures - which is what I am after. I have a line on a couple of documents at the Kew archive that I am awaiting a quote on. If all else fails I shall order copies. If only I lived in London! Waldo. On Sat, 24 May 2008 14:45:46 +0100, Peter Twydell wrote: In message , Waldo.

"Waldo.Pepper" wrote in message ... Hi Waldo Grateful if you could contact me via email - before my ISP drops your message off its system (the retention time is 72hrs max) I may be able to help out. Languishing in my cupboard I would have well 100 back issues of "Airplane" magazine. The RADAR equipped Hurriacne rings a bell. It will take me a while to check back through them all - but might be possible. Regards Graham |
