His engine was also damaged and the petrol tank set on fire (the Hurricane being a mostly fabric aircraft still). As he struggled to bail out another Me 110 flashed in front of him, he managed to get back into the bucket seat and got on its tail, fired his guns and continued until he shot it down..
Not until then did he bail out he was able to open his chute and land in a field but not until he was shot at by members of Home Guard who ignored is calls that he was an RAF pilot..
For this he won Fighter Commands ONLY Victoria Cross..

This Typhoon is painted in the scheme of his Hurricane.. This is the RAFs Synchro pair and this shot was taken at Duxford during the big Battle of Britain show..
