Wet Hurricane.

maybe if the paint would be more reflective to the sun,
nonetheless, those are some awesome pics, good work

The hurri was half fabric, not very shiny. Why would anyone want a fighter to be shiny in the first place?!

Who wants to fly a dull plane?

I prefer the Lancaster, as many a veteran will tell you, its four Spit's in one, plus, a bloody big bomb bay !  :-*  ;D

Top work eno .  8)

Who on earth would want four spits? It should read: I prefer the Lancaster, as many a veteran will tell you, its four Hurricane's in one, plus, a bloody big bomb bay !

That makes the lanc sound alot better - I'd rather have 1 Hurri than 4 spits, but even if a Lanc was four Hurricanes id rather have a hurricane, not enough in the world How many hurries are there currently flying (Doug )

Anyway - I'll take you on in your spit (or even a  lancaster) anyday if you wish to sort this out once and for all. I'd lose ('cause i'm not a practiced dogfighter) but id somehow find a way of proving the Hurricane is prettier, and thats the main thing  ::)

I would agree entirely with you, except, I fear you've lost all sence of reality and reason, How else could you utter such blasphemous words?  !

I hear Doctors can work wonders these days,

You'll understand once you feel better.


For and on behalf of the much missed A.V.Roe & Co,

Paul.

BTW, Theres 8 Hurricanes left in the world apparently, not sure how many still fly.  

Beauty matters little when ones life depends on the performance/handling.

Many a German night fighter pilot would break off from a fully operational Lancaster performing a "Corkscrew" evasion, difficult to follow in perfect conditions, never mind those crazy tail & dorsal gunners who were brave/mad enough to serve in those flying coffins.

This thread is wandering in & out of the Cafe & History forums it seems!

I appreciate your serious approach to my little "problem" Scania. I've taken your advice - I'm booked into Professor Brensec's NeuroSynapsebiotech lab for an emergency appointment tommorrow at 9am. I'm hoping all that

Ah yes - the old 20th century method.
