The Hawker Hurricane was the RAFs most vital fighter in the early years of WWII. These tough, partly fabric covered monoplane fighters put in a valiant defence against the numerically superior Luftwaffe during the Blitzkrieg. Although slower than the Messerschmitt Bf109, and with a less destructive armament, the Hurricane was able to turn tighter and absorb considerable punishment.
 
Hurricane Mk 1 V6665, which was delivered to 303 Squadron at Northolt on 7th September 1940, as a replacement aircraft. In a stark demonstration of the high loss rates during the Battle, it was to last only 20 days before it too was lost in combat.
