Title: RAAF 451 Squadron Hurricane MK-IIC
Post by: lyric1 on August 06, 2010, 04:09:42 AM: Roger I noticed on another thread about Hurricane research well here is one that I thought might interest you since we have no RAAF aircraft skins of this type & also that it is a desert scheme.

First three seem to be best candidates I also have the plane # from the site on the (A) aircraft 3rd pic shown.

we not got a volks filter but everything else would be ok if we can be sure of the colours

I may have to go to the Airforce museum this weekend & see what I can find on that in the OSPREY book section. I have looked for books on this squadron & sadly not a lot available as they were printed some time back.

Post by: lyric1 on August 07, 2010, 04:29:10 PM: Well nothing I could find on this squadron at the Museum that would say what the camo would look like. This unit was based in Eygypt at the time & all the other squadrons that I could find with profiles of in this area of combat had the tan & sand paint scheme on Hurricanes that I could find.
Also Roger here is the info on the aircraft#.
