Alex Clarke recalls an archival photograph of a Sea Hurricane with a single-barrel 40 mm, 2-pounder pom-pom mounted on its centreline. He believes it was among the Roskill material in the Churchill Archives, but cannot locate it. The recollection accompanies a broader suggestion that Fleet Air Arm modifications help explain variation between Sea Hurricanes. The photograph's location and the identity of the aircraft remain unconfirmed.
