Could anyone assist me with a couple of skins please? 1x Hurri and 1x 109

Kristorf, MP, I finally managed to extract "Hurricane Aces 1939-40" from the stacks, and found the ref on the spinner stripe. According to Holmes, Clowes (quote) "instructed his groundcrew to add a yellow stripe to the wasp motif painted bellow both the port and starboard exhaust stubs - the same shade of roundel yellow used by No 1 Sqn to mark Rotol spinner on each of it's Hurricanes". (Emphasis is mine).

Interestingly, there's a photo of two ground crew painting the was motif on page 109. The caption says it's the same P3395 that's in the picture I posted, but this machine has a white (or sky) spinner with a dark stripe (red? black?), and contrary to the picture I posted it has a glare shield. The caption states the picture is from late October 1940.

It seems to me this has to be a different machine, so that at least two Hurricanes of No 1 Sqn had spinner stripes, which means Holme's assertion all of them had it (around November) seems plausible.
