GEOFFREY PAGE's HURRICANE Mk I "Little Willie"
In addition to the artist's signature, each print is co-autographed by the pilot Wing Commander Alan
Geoffrey Page, DSO, DFC*, RAF (Ret.)
The Painting,: Before dawn on 20 July 1940, Blue Section of 56 Squadron intercepted and shot down a Ju 88
of 4(F)/122. Pilot Officer Geoffrey Page achieved a shared victory flying his Hurricane Mk I "Little Willie".
With their spinners painted blue for identification, Alan Geoffrey Page, Flt. Lt. "Jumbo" Gracie and Percy
Weaver comprised the Blue Section.
Their Bogey, the Ju 88 was on a photo recon mission. The Hurricanes chased the bomber in and out of the
clouds; this scene shows just after "Jumbo" Gracie fired then peels away and Page gets in his last burst
before the Ju 88 disappears in a cloud bank. Blue Section was not sure they scored a victory until it was
reported that the Luftwaffe bomber had crashed at Cockett Farm, St. Osyth. Blue Section shared the victory.
One of the RAF's most delightful and distinguished gentlemen, another perfect example of "..one of the
few", Geoffrey Page ended the war with 15 victories.
