It seems 10 Hurricanes were lost at sea on the way back, I presume there were more, but I don't know so.

Hi!

You are completely right, and I am completely wrong in this case!!
I had totally forgotten about that squadron who came with HMS Glorious, and was lost on their way back home to Britain.

Some of them where shot down during the Norwegian campaign; like this one: http://ktsorens.tihlde.org/flyvrak/strand.html

or this one:

Then, of course, there are the Russian Hurricanes that flew over Norway from bases in Murmansk.
