What a heroic bloke, I'm sure Eric may have heard of him, finally he can have an identified place of rest.

Good result for his family & typical of the french to have buried him properly.

Hadn't heard of him but it's nice to know that he has finally been found.

Also nice to see that the picture is fairly appropriate. In fact, even though it's a restored Hurricane, it looks to me that it has been restored in the colours that were used during the Battle of Frannce by some Hurricanes (the fin flash stripes are on the rudder rather than the tailfin itself).
