Interesting info, thanks.

This is a photo of a Hurricane in France. In front of the Hurricane can be seen the wing roundel of a damaged French aircraft.

Of interest is that the Hurricane has an anti-glare metal plate positioned between the exhaust and the cockpit for night flying. It's generally thought that this adaption was only fitted during the later Battle of Britain period.

Anti glare panel on Hurricanes.
 
Hi MB,

The Hurricane in the pics part way down this page had recently returned from the Battle of France when it was photographed. It sports the anti glare panels.
