Description |
English: Aircraft of the Royal Air Force 1939-1945- Hawker Hurricane. Five tropicalised Hurricane Mark IICs of No. 94 Squadron RAF based at El Gamil, Egypt, flying in loose starboard echelon formation. The outboard 20mm cannons have been removed from the nearest aircraft (BP389 ‘GO-G’) to aid performance. The three rearmost Hurricanes are the "MacRobert Fighters", presentation aircraft paid for by Lady Rachel MacRobert in memory of her three sons, all of whom were killed flying in the early stages of the war. They were handed over to 94 Squadron on 19 September 1942 and are, (front to rear); HL851 "Sir Iaian" (with its Squadron code letters 'GO-P' partly applied), HL735 "Sir Roderic" and HL844 "Sir Alasdair". |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
