Looking for the correct serial number of a Hurricane on which F/Sgt (Pilot) Frank HARRIS - 655491 was killed. He was assigned to Nr. 6 Sqn and killed on an anti-tank sweep near El Hamma. 6 Sqn based at Senem in Tunisia lost this day Hurricanes HV856, HW177 and HW298. He lies buried in the Sfax War Cem., Tunisia.
Regards and thanks,
Henk.

A gentlemen I work with showed me a photo album his father F/O Kenneth Bendall kept during his time as a pilot with #54 Squadron and #6 Squadron. He was kind enough to let me make copies of this incredible personal account. Upon reading this thread I recognized the name of F/Sgt Frank Harris and I went back to the photos and found this photo taken by Mr. Kenneth Bendall.
