Hurricane IIB Z5659 XKC as flown by Plt Off J. Storey of No 135 Sqn, Mingaladon, Burma in February 1942.

On 6 February 1942 the Japanese attacked Mingaladon airfield, outside Rangoon and Australian former school teacher Jack Storey scrambled in this aircraft, leading six others aloft. Three Ki-27 'Nate' fighters of the 77th Sentai jumped them and in the subsequent fight Storey shot down two and claimed two probables. He was again flying this plane on 23 February when he sent another 'Nate' into the jungle in flames for his fourth victory.
