One of
the first Hurricanes delivered to 274 Sqn, P2544 served with the

Ismailia. The aircraft was then used as an instructional airframe
until struck off charge. One of the pilots who flew on this

Hurricane
I of RAF 274 Sqn (s/n unknown)
Late
1940
Historical
skin
This aircraft is based on a picture in the book
Hurricanes over Tobruk by Brian Cull and Don Minterne. The
picture shows a rare view of the NH codes which soon gave way to a
painted lightning flash through the fuselage roundel. The aircraft
does not carry the individual code letter. The serial number is
illegible, but Z4312 was a Hurricane that served with 274 Sqn at
the time.

Historical
skin
This aircraft shows the lightning flash though the
fuselage roundel that was characteristic of 274 Sqn. The front
nose and leading edges of the wings have been painted in a lighter
shade of Sand and Green splotches to simulate Italian aircraft
when flying head-on at low altitude.

Oct 1941 - May

lightning flash through the fuselage roundel was maintained.

Morane-Saulnier
MS.406 of N°2 French Fighter Flight (s/n AX674)
Jul
- Sept 1940
Historical
skin
The French Flight aircraft that served with 80 Sqn and
later 274 Sqn retained their original camouflage and squadron
insignia, while the French national markings were replaced by
British markings. Serial numbers were issued, but apparently these
were not carried. This particular aircraft still shows the
insignia of GC I/7 1°escadrille. In addition, the
underside
wings are painted in the RAF black/white pattern.
