jankees Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 jk5028 jk5029 jk5030 jk5036 Hurricane P2765 UP-N of 605 Sqn was flown by Pilot Officer James Humphries RNZAF on 9 September 1940, when his flight was bounced by a group of Me110's, and he received several cannon hits, severely damaging his plane and wounding his left hand. He bailed out at 12000 ft over Borden and freefell to 3000 ft when he pulled his ripcord. He drifted over a Canadian camp and the soldiers started shooting at him, but luckily he only suffered a minor hit. He recuperated in the Cambridge Military Hospital at Aldershot.
