Nice picture. It's from e-bay ? Do you have more from german sources?

Dan.

Below is another photo, possibly taken at the same time.

Here is the reply I received from Steven Modeldad:

Gen. Dénes

It appears that all Hurricanes delivered to foreign purchares from this series had "Mauser" guns.

Dan Modelmom.

Denes you forgott your previous statement :

What shall i believe 430 Hurricanes ( from your first issue) with fabric cover wings or 600 ( the second issue )

Anyway all the pictures show rom. Hurricanes are with metal wings ( including your pictures). Until you or someone else come with at least one picture ( or an oficiall document) with Romanian Hurricane with fabric cover wings , this subject shoud be closed ( or open). We need clear proof to change that.

Dan.

PS: I am out of the topic with this issue ( "to be or not to be" cover fabric wings).

In the summer 1940 germans fought Hurricanes over England, in Romania german mechanics make pictures with romanian Hurricanes.

Dan, why are you addressing this to me??? This beats me...

All I did was to paste & copy what Steve Modeldad wrote related to this topic.

Gen. Dénes

With what purpose . Nobody ask you to do It's not a relyble source for our issue. Who is this Modeldad (Tatal modelismului? ) You used him as a reference in your books for romanian Hurricanes ?

Sorry i upset you again.

Dan.

To add further info to the topic. My post, quoting Steven Modeldad, a knowledgeable person, did add some interesting new elements.

Since when do I have to ask for permission to post here???
Everybody (registered) is entitled to post relevant information.

Why don't you ask him personally? I have his e-mail address, if you wish.
BTW, it's not nice to make fun of someone's name of choice, Cantacuzino...

Yes, you did and this is not the first time. And please spare me your advise not to take it personally, when it's clearly personal.

Let me recap the whole issue, to clarify the topic and avoid further confusion.
Initially, I noted that according to British sources, the batch of Hurricanes delivered to Rumania may have had fabric covered wings. The photos I've seen were inconclusive in this regard. Please note, that I did not say at all that the ARR Hurricanes had fabric covered wings. It's only a technical issue I wanted to clarify. No hidden agendas, no politics, nothing. Just a technical issue.
Now, turning this into a personal issue (again) is against what I am here for. If you have anything personal with me, use the PM feature, or write an e-mail.

Will this "conversation" EVER ENDS?????????????
I'ts like those "conversations" between me and Victor that are going no where.

On pg 137 of Cracinoiu's book about the ARR,ther's a photo of a HH with 6 mg's.
The nr of the plane is 5.
