Description
Hurricane
Fighter Sweep
A section of 73 Sqdn Hurricanes, one of the two Sqdns sent to France in 1939-40, trawls the spring evening sky looking for Lufwaffe targets. Still using echelon style formation, although slightly relaxed here, they have had no luck this flight as the canvas covers over the gun ports are unbroken. This would change dramatically in the following weeks as the Hurricanes were overwhelmed by the Luftwaffe Bf 109s in the Battle of France.
