Description


For the first time I can remember ever, they got 5, yes 5 Hurricanes flying at one at Duxford. Four in the grouping and singleton behind. They are P2902 Hurricane I P3717 : Hurricane I R4118 Hurricane I and 5711 Hurricane XIIa Also Sea Hurricane Ib Z7015 (from Shuttleworth Collection). Newly airworthy P3717 is Battle of Britain veteran. built in early 1940 flew with No 253Sqn during the worse of the Battle and with many pilots including Polish. It is known to has scored several kills during this time. 2902 is another newly airworthy Hurricane, this example actually flew combat missions over Dunkirk! It had 8 hours on the clock when with two others it was flying cover over Dunkirk. The others returned with oil pressure warning light showing. Alone he attacked several 109's only to be bouced anoth group of 109's. Having heard that 109's were not good at pulling out of steep dives (brave!) and blinded by oil and glycol, he dived, lost them, but crash landed on the beach and Dunkirk. Here it lay until discovered 1989! By the way, so stubborn was the Hurricane to die it refused to catch fire even when the pilot tried after crash landing. And now it lives again.. Five Hurricanes. Also and this show, Mystery Ship, 'Berlin Express' P-51C, from U.S. and Florida. And, 'Frenesi', P-51D from Texas. Original Bf109E did not show! Rob

I did my model as the prototype with fabric wings and a different tail wheel. The German bombing of the linen factories in Belfast made fabric hard to get. These are surely worthy of trumpets now as combat seasoned and airworthy.
