Martin, and that has to be one unlucky Hurricane.

I was there this week, and reading its chequered history on plaque in front.

Seems it had lots of accidents, undercarriage problems. Seems to have spent more time in the workshops than in the air..

And lets not forget the bomber force and the nationality of crews involved there too.

Did a tour in Lincoln area once, that took me overnights to the RAFs old basic training school for recruits. Only army guy there for a week, got lots of strange looks.

Found a small monument there to the Polish aircrews that used the station in bomber command in the early days of ww2.

Camp has gone now, used for boot sales though some of it, hope the memorial wasnt broken up.
