Wallpaper Description:

249 SQUADRON LEGEND

Flight Lieutenant Eric James Brindley Nicholson of 249 Squadron Church Fenton, was awarded the Victoria Cross, when, on the 16th August 1940, Nicolson's Hawker Hurricane was fired on by a Messerschmitt BF 110, injuring him in one eye and one foot.
As he struggled to leave the blazing machine he saw another Messerschmitt, got back into the bucket seat, pressed the trigger and shot down the enemy plane.
He was able to bail out and land safely in a field.
In 2015 the RAF Typhoon display aircraft was painted in special scheme to represent Nicholson's Hurricane.
