Sea Hurricane Mark XIIA
BW837	This listing comes from 439's own archives. Only hours after its acceptance check, this brand-new Hurricane was written off on the 5 Jan 1942. Hardly had he become airborne when the engine began to cut out intermittently. The pilot (F/O Prendergast) tried to turn back to the airfield, but as he did so the engine stopped completely and the Hurricane came down in a grove of trees about one mile south of the field.  Cutting a swath through 100 yards of spruce trees, the aircraft came to rest with its starboard wing torn off, the propeller wrenched from the engine, the fuselage broken in two behind the cockpit, and the engine twisted to one side
BW843	Severely damaged 11 May 1944. Note: It is uncertain whether the Sea Hurricane was still on 439's inventory when it was damaged. To be confirmed.
