    Hawker Hurricane 2c, BE515, bought by the people of Workington and had the towns coat of arms painted on it. When was it made and What became of it, who flew it?

    futher update.

    This hurricane was shipped to India where it was assembled at Drigh Road, Karachi in Jan 1942. On its test flight it struck some overhead cables and crash landed in the Malir River.

    The Towns crest was cut from the wreck? and by various means was swopped in Burma, the was given to the No 2199 Squadron ATC.
