There, in a stork's nest on a chimney, he found what the radio message from London had told him about --a model Hurricane fighter, exact down to rubber tires and glass navigation and landing lights, built for His Majesty by R.A.F. mechanics. On the fuselage was a brass plate bearing birthday greetings. On the engine cowling His Majesty's name was inscribed in Arabic.

British propaganda had scored a bull's-eye.
