"Uneven
Odds" by Robert Taylor |
The Hawker Hurricane the RAF's forgotten fighter star of the Battle of Britain.
|
The prototype, K5083, was first flown at
Brooklands on November 6 1935 by chief test pilot P.W.S.
'George' Bulman and in all some 2,800 Hurricanes were
completed and flown out of that site.
How the last Hurricane was made - was this the last major aircraft to be made to the same basic methods as the earliest "stick and string" planes? It still proved capable of delivering the goods ! |
