topoxforddoc Posted September 28, 2008 Share #1 Posted September 28, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) This time 48 years ago, the skies over Southern England were filled with sights like this. Now there are only a Few Hurricanes left. This one's a Mark IIc. Seen over RAF Westhampnett (now Goodwood).

elansprint72 Posted September 29, 2008 Share #4 Posted September 29, 2008 Perfect moment! A bit of "spot-healing brush" work required before printing. Tried B&W too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flatfour Posted September 29, 2008 Share #5 Posted September 29, 2008 I remember seeing these at Croydon, and Spits, but they were never that clean. Somehow a shiny Spit of Hurri doesn't seem right. Good shot though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow a shiny Spit of Hurri doesn't seem right. Good shot though. Absolutely agree, matt paint looks much better. I wonder if it is either to ease maintenance, or improve fuel efficiency?

tobey bilek Posted October 4, 2008 Share #7 Posted October 4, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Welcome to Hawker Restorations Ltd Web Site : Restorers of World War 2 aircraft specialising in the Hawker Hurricane You might be interested. I have seen photos on the net of a Hurricane under restoration. I looks like a balsa stick model without the covering. Thanks for sharing. And bless the RAF.
