Hurricane IIc 294 Sqn, Sir Roderic

[kristorf]

Hurricane IIc flown by 294 Sqn and named 'Sir Roderic', presented by Lady Rachel MacRoberts, one of four presented by her to the RAF, all named after her sons.









*Brief History of the A/C*
Sir Roderic,(One of the sons) took a Short Service Commission in the Royal Air Force. Sir Roderic was killed leading a flight of No 94 Squadron in a Hurricane strafing attack on German held Mosul airfield in Iraq, on 22 may 1941.

It was only a month later, on 30 June, that Sir Iain was posted missing, following an operational Air-Sea rescue mission over the North Sea in a Blenheim of No 608 Squadron.

Lady MacRoberts' fighting response is now history. In addition to giving the Stirling bomber, The MacRoberts Reply, and 4 Hurricanes named after her sons, she also provided the House of Cromar, renamed Alastrean House, as a leave centre for operational aircrew serving in the Royal Air Force and the Commonwealth Air Forces.

Lady MacRobert died at Douneside on 1 September 1954 and is buried in the gardens a Douneside House

Nope, not made a Hurry template yet. I had a play with Servals though when it was first uploaded and still have it, but not ever made any public skins from it.
