Hawker Hurricane PG472





Hawker Hurricane PG472



 On the 2nd February 1945 flying  out of RAF Calverley in Cheshire on a training flight , this aircraft was involved in a collision with another hurricane (PZ848) . Both aircraft plummeted to the ground killing the pilots  . 

The pilots were 

 Flt.Sgt. Thomas S. Taylor  PG472 
and 
W/O Norman Thomas Huckle PZ848

 PZ848 is located on nearby farmland . LAIT  excavated the sites a few years ago and took much wreckage from them . That said it is good to see wreckage at this one , hurricane wreckage is thin on the ground so to speak !

    Note a comment on one of my pages from the son of a policeman who was on the scene and recovered a jemmy and hopes that if a family member sees it they can contact him (if they want it).
