Hello M. Riley,

Thank you for your comment – I’ve updated the article accordingly. Just as everyone else, I took that for granted and have never looked into it. It is true that some misconceptions become “facts” in everyone’s minds once they are repeated. My favourite ironic example of this is the famous quote “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.”, which everyone “knows” is from Goebbels – despite the fact that there is no indication he ever said that !

This myth has been perpetuated and repeated so many times that is now accepted as “fact” but it is wrong! Even some of the survivors (eg LF686) entered service after LF363. All in my book “Hawker Hurricane Survivors”

Loving your profiles – say hello to Ben!
