Dunkerque veteran
Hawker Hurricane Mk.I P2902 was hit by enemy fire on 31 May 1940 while providing aerial protection during the evacuation of British troups from the beaches in Dunkerque.
The injured pilot made a forced landing on one of the beaches, and the aircraft was left there for 48 years before being found and recovered. Today it is in flying condition, as you can see.
A beach find. Incredible.
