Five tropicalised Hurricane Mark IIC’s of No. 94 Squadron RAF based at El Gamil, Egypt, flying in loose starboard echelon formation. The outboard 20mm cannons have been removed from the nearest aircraft (GO-G, serial number BP389) to aid performance. The three rearmost Hurricanes are the “MacRobert Fighters”, presentation aircraft paid for by Lady Rachel MacRobert in memory of her three sons, all of whom were killed flying in the early stages of the war. They were handed over to 94 Squadron on September 19th, 1942 and are, (front to rear); “Sir Iaian” (with its Squadron code letters ‘GO-P’ partly applied, serial number HL851), “Sir Roderic” (serial number HL735) and “Sir Alasdair” (serial number HL844). @IWM
