Title: Dieppe Hurricane
Post by: Greebo on March 07, 2018, 03:23:31 AM

Thanks to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin.

This 174 Squadron Hurricane Mk IIB flew fighter bomber sorties in support of Operation Jubilee, the disastrous Anglo-Canadian raid on the German-held French port of Dieppe in August 1942. For this operation the nose and tail surfaces of RAF fighters were painted in white stripes as a means to prevent friendly fire. This aircraft was named Mauritius VII as it was the seventh aircraft donated to the RAF by residents of that island. Many of these Mauritius-donated aircraft were flown by 174 squadron which was named after the island.

That is a beautiful skin Greebo, wow, I never thought anything would replace the black skin I've been using all these years, but this just might!
