Wow,what a nice surprise,another whole Squadron,thanks very much Keith.....Beautiful work matey :grin:

Good job .
Still as great.
Is it possible to make a squad for BF-109? .;)

Nice pack mate, just one small thing.
As far as I can find 43 Sqn didn't have under wing roundels during the BoB...(However I could be wrong, again...)

I must admit, I've never seen any 43 squadron Hurricane Mk.Is with under wing roundels either. I suppose it's possible they might of had them\kept them when aircraft were transferred in from other squadrons.

For CM6, your first pic looks kind of familiar. Did you base it on a painting by any chance?

..anyway, thanks for the Skins! :-))

Nice skins, nice job!
I would love to have flown in the aircraft marked FTW!!! What a great code.

Thanks Guys:grin::grin::grin:
Chris and Moggy
I was wondering if either of you guys have a Photo
of the underside of one as all the references
that I used were Colour illustrations,Paintings shown below (which have the Roundel)
as I couldnt find any Photos that show the underside for that Period:(
And Moggy yes I did base the first picture on a Painting I saw on the net.
Regards
Keith;)

43 squadron images...especially those showing the underside are few and far in between. I have made a search of some of my books on 43 squadron and the latest I can come up with at the moment is 20th July 1940 showing the crash of FT-U (P3784). It's not the clearest of photos mind, but for what it's worth here it is;

I think 43's attitude to paintschemes comes from the fact they were ordered to camoflauge over their beloved polished cowlings, gleaming silver, and black and white chequerboard Hawker Furies in 1938.

BTW, I noticed some of your Hurricanes do not have any serial numbers. Would you like me to look for some aircraft serial numbers for your Hurricanes?

;):grin:Hi Moggy
Yes please Buddy,the serial codes would be great:grin:
