          Hi David,

          don't know if this helps but the L1592 was KWOZ built in 1938 and is on display in London.

          Cheers Richi

                  The serial is indeed KW-G.

                  http://www.doverwarmemorialproject.org.uk/Information/Articles/Incidents/Flames.htm

                  The Operational Record Book of No.615 Squadron. recorded the following:- “At 15:00 hours Red section were patrolling convoy near Dover, when convoy was attacked by 40 JU87’s which were escorted by ME109’s. Pilot Officer M.R.MUDIE (Red 3) was shot down, and jumped by parachute…Red 1 and 2 put several bursts into JU87’s but were unable to observe results as they were being attacked.”

                  For 24 years old Michael Mudie had stood little chance in evading the Schwarms of Me109’s on his tail, and no less than four Jagdflieger claimed a share in the destruction of his Hurricane (L1584 KW-G). These victorious German pilots included Oberfeldwebel Trebing of JG3, Walter Krieger of JG51 along with two of his better-known unit comrades by the names of Oberleutnant Josef Priller and Hauptmann Horst Tietzen.

                  Pilot Officer M.R.Mudie from No 615 Squadron flying a Hurricane (L1584) was shot down on the 14th of July 1940 while he was on convoy patrol. He baled out over Dover and was rescued but he died on the 15th of July 1940.
