@264flight Many thanks for checking, I know he flew several and crashed a few too. He won the red eye caterpillar for baling out of one whilst on fire! The family have his log book and scorched helmet!
@malcstag. Hi there unfortunately i have done some digging but could not find the info you require about your Grandfather. I will continue to search if you want me to as i have many contacts and someone may know the answer to this. It would be fantastic if he had flown R4118 at sometime while serving with 605 SQN. Cheers Lee
beautifully filmed. Well done.

Hi , according to my research his early log book states L2013 HE-R, but he crashed several and no doubt had later UP codes. I will keep reading.
It was filmed at Raf Cosford just ouside of Wolverhampton but the base lies in Shropshire.
Any chance of seeing the logbook? I do a lot of research into Hurricane pilots
