s Bilbo Baggins said, “It’s a dangerous business Frodo,
going out your door. You step onto the road and if
you don’t keep your feet there’s no knowing where
you might be swept off to.”
A complimentary e-mail to Editor Chris Clifford earlier this year,
was the ‘road’ that took me off my feet, with the innocent inclusion
of “I thought you and Steve might be interested to know that,
according to his widow, my uncle apparently had a red devil figure
painted on the nose of P3576”. Jim Nicolson, nephew of James
Nicolson, VC had, at a stroke, unwittingly set me on the path to
chasing down the enigmatic ‘red devil’, missing from Hurricane
‘GN-A’ that I’d built in March issue’s ‘Battle of Britain special’.
Google revealed a chance forum comment in 2009, by respected
aviation historian Andy Saunders, that the devil was ‘…a detail
often overlooked’. Intrigue gathered pace from the discovery of
a red devil emblem displayed on a cabinet at Tangmere Museum,
which contained Nicolson’s preserved uniform. Was it the fabled
devil on P3576 or simply a German bomber Geschwader symbol?
My subsequent discovery, that Andy Saunders was the founder
of the museum, made establishing the origin of the devil on
the cabinet an imperative and it was a eureka moment indeed
when, some weeks later, Andy sent me a scan of a piece written
by the USA’s Souders-Earhart IPMS chapter, sometime prior to
2000. Entitled ‘Heroic Hurricane’, its content was itself founded
on an authentic painting and article in the Illustrated London
News on November 30, 1940. Jointly they verified unequivocally
that the Tangmere red devil was indeed Nicolson’s personal
symbol on August 16, 1940 when he won his Victoria Cross.
In another pleasantly unexpected twist, it emerged recently
that a Eurofighter Typhoon of 29(R) Squadron recently received
Battle of Britain camouflage and GN-A codes…the RAF’s 2015
tribute to Nicolson and the 75th anniversary of the Battle
of Britain (see p.7 this issue). I shared my findings with RAF
Coningsby’s media officer and suggested it should be added
to the jet. As I write this, I’m told it’s now “…98.5% certain…”
that Nicolson’s personal emblem will take to the skies again
aboard the RAF’s commemorative ‘Tiffie’, 75 years after it
last did so on that fateful August 16, 1940 over Southampton.
The devil is in the detail…
