Warbird Information Exchange

Hi,

I'm trying to establish which Hurricane was used in this film, there
seems to be some confusion in various sources between s/n:
P2617 and PZ865?

Better to post this in the main hangar.

The Hurricanes in the film were from the Portuguese Air Force, and IIRC, were all scrapped at some point post filming. No surviving Hurricanes featured.

My colleague Gary Brown has written on the film, including the Hurri identities, as far as they are known, and I'll ask him to look in with his info.

Regards,
