249 Sqn Hurricane lost on 9 June 1941

[Laurent Rizzotti]

Hello, on 9 June 1941, Sgt Dennis Rex of 249 Sqn had to bale out of his Hurricane over the Mediterranean Sea, apparently due to a glycol leak after an air battle against S.79s.

Neither the books "249 at Malta" or "Malta: the Hurricane years" has the serial of the Hurricane. I will be interested to know it.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

The Hurricane serial is quoted as ,"Z4087", on p.69 of "249 at War".
