: begin 644 UK2 BN709 Hawker HurricaneMkIID.jpg Attachment decoded: UK2 BN709 Hawker HurricaneMkIID.jpg ` end I think this is just a lower-quality rendering of the shot of BN795, the shadows, the horizon, the aspect of the a/c are the same, and the control surfaces are in identical positions. BN795 is supposed to have been dedicated to the memory of Squadron Leader John Gillan, hence the "Our John" painted on the cowling. Might this shot have been doctored? -- Andrew Chaplin SIT MIHI GLADIUS SICUT SANCTO MARTINO (If you're going to e-mail me, you'll have to get "yourfinger." out.) |

When looking as close as I can (Or rather enlarging) it does look like the
same number, but the lower image is in a poorer resoloution, and therefor harder to see. Claus "Andrew Chaplin" skrev i meddelelsen ...

I believe the 2nd pix is a bad reproduction with the seriel # being
distored to look like BN709. Joe.
