These are some really great photos. Thanks for sharing.

Not photos but an excellent aircraft manual for the C.R. 32 with lots of drawings of the structure and the systems (fuel/oil). Just in case Oleg goes Med next.

Interesting information on the Hurricane landing light:

"Walking clockwise around the aircraft, there is nothing remarkable about preflight of the wing, until arriving at the landing light. The first time I saw it, I thought the mounting was broken, but upon closer inspection, I realized it moves! Some designer went to a lot of trouble with this item. In the original airplane, the landing lights were used one at a time, controlled by a three-position switch. A "dipping lever" adjusted the aim, and a knurled knob locked the lever in place. Loosening the knob would allow the spring-loaded lever to move to the up position."
