Profile 00: Tomahawk liB AK490 of No 73 Sqn, flown by Sqn Ldr Peter Wykeham-Barnes, El Gamil, Egypt, September 1941 On 15 September 1941 Tomahawks AK490 and AM464 were delivered to No 73 Sqn possibly with the intention of re-equipping the unit. In the event only one more (AM490) was delivered, and they were kept for just a matter of weeks. The aircraft retained their 'European' colours, but were also decorated with the squadron's pre-war marking - a unique feature. They were flown regularly by pilots of No 73 Sqn, including the CO, 12-victory ace Sqn Ldr Peter Wykeham-Barnes. AK490 was written off when it was hit by a ground-looping AN326 at Amriya on 21 October 1941. Both Tomahawks were serving with No 4 Sqn SAAF at the time.
