Description

::: Part 19 of a series of Warbird Photos ::: Taken at the Planes of Fame Museum on Chino Airport, California at the 'British Airpower' Event. (8/6/03) One of the Royal Air Force WW2 costume reinactors at the event. This turned out a lot better than I ever could have thought. The aircraft in the background came out perfect (it's a RAF Hawker Hurricane Mk X). A photo like this would be normal during the Battle of Britian in 1940... Camera is a digital Minolta Dimage 7hi (5 MP). This image has been shrunk down to 33% of the original full size. Custom White Balance with 'portrait' mode selected (manual focus).

Ok some big issues here. The aircraft is not a Hawker its a Spitfire. There are only six Hawker Hurricanes in operation and two of those are RAF! All Hurricanes are canvas as you shown with your picture thats a metal skin, That is a Spitfire! no Question~! Thats a Mark 5 spitfire the exhaust ports show that it is that! Asides from this nice piture!

Correction - this is a Hurricane Mk X. I sent a Instant Message to Sorcerssofgreyskull and he also agreed. It's currently still located at the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, California.
