You're Top Poster: #3   | Hawker Hurricane August 1940 brought what has become the Hurricane's shining moment in history: The Battle of Britain. RAF Hurricanes accounted for more enemy aircraft kills than all other defences combined, including all aircraft and ground defences. Later in the war, the Hurricane served admirably in North Africa, Burma, Malta, and nearly every other theatre in which the RAF participated. http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-.../hurricane.htm hurricane2a.jpg

You're Top Poster: #1 | And some of you may remember the good old discussion on this little beauty    Well, I managed to find two old magazine articles that go into great detail about the Slipwing. Unfortunately, it's far too big to attach.

You're Top Poster: #1 | Have to stick this shot in just because it was taken at my local airfield - RAF Notholt. It is about 2 miles from where I grew up, and I used to drive past it everyday. It is also where the Polish War Memorial is (because so many of the Polish squadrons were based there during the BoB). This picture is of 111 Squadron in about March 1938.
