Pima's Frankenplanes! L. C. Wade's Hawker Hurricane

[@rokuth]

Looks like a Hurricane with 12 .303 machineguns, which Andy diligently filmed. That would make it a MkIIb Hurricane. Great story about L. C. Wade. It does seem that the rules were somewhat lax in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations for the RAF during this period with regards to reporting "Kills" seeing as both Pattle and Wade were unofficially top aces from this area.

One could argue that the claims made are all open for debate. For the Luftwaffe in the desert, if you claimed one, it counted.

some were upgunned in various configurations for North Africa as combat altitudes were lower than Europe and the opposition were earlier 109's at best, likely 109E. P40 were also a successful mount in the desert for the same reasons.

I am glad you did not have to put Andy together again with different parts... 😆

He was so embarrassed we allowed him to leave in the number of peices he arrived in

The coughing make it authentic. This is definitively not made by KI. THX for the Info.
