Hawker Hurricane MkIIb SAAF 40Sqn
Hi Guys
Here is
Hawker Hurricane MkIIb SAAF 40Sqn flown by Jack Orpen HL734 with Gremlin Bobby Burst North Africa 1942-43
From the photo's it's hard to work out the underside camouflage so I settled on Sky blue and the background color of the gremlin I have done in red and blue again can't be 100% from the photos.
Any additional information would be great.

Hi Guys
Another:
Hawker Hurricane MkI Trop SAAF 3Sqn B East Africa 1941
When you look at this rather dark photo you can see a No 5 on the tail.
Most of the aircraft where 277-289 I don't know for sure what the code is but I believe it to be 275 as the 5 is on the tail could be 285 but the photo looks like a 7. Hate to make a guess like this since they are a historical representation.
If anyone knows more please email me via my site!

Some fantastic photo's from the pilots who flew these aircraft here:
