[DavidCheeseman]

I share your thought too, Nothing like the sound of Merlins

[GERMANOPHILE]

Think on Cousin American) this plane (and the Hurricane) "saved our ass"!! not yourselves! (despite popular culture and your history and the cursed PC!) I love your culture as an Englishman, but please stop trying to hijack my culture to tell my children that you saved my Country! you did'nt!! this is not intended as an insult or a slur to your great Nation, the RAF and the Royal Navy,"saved our ass" but don't put this MY Nation down at the expense of your own PC!

[darkmossie633]

have not seen this vid,. before but really good view and tribute to Canadian pilots who flew Spits in Battle of Britain ww2

-also who flew for Bomber Command, -very brave and courageous men with

great humour, BUT fighting strength-lest we forget

[ianevans67]

I guarantee every British man over the age of 40 will know that sound.

Brings a tear to the eye.

[Anacinc]

That's a nice tight display!

Hurricane wasnt fast.....318 mph top speed for the MK1

[audigod]

agreed100%

[freakyflow]

think your alittle lost ..the hurc had thicker wings which could take bigger cal guns and ammo but lost speed and lift due to drag and weight. Where the spitfire was once used as a speed plane before the war called the type m 300 it was made for speed first...then had everything else added hurrie was a lumberjack with a big axe and the spitfire was a tango dancer with a craving knife lol both great planes

[freakyflow]

Can't wait to see this plane june 20th at hamilton war musuem

[JohanCash]

"It just dosn't have the rate of fire and number of rounds nessisary to be a good dog-fighter. "

The Mk Ia Hurricane (the ones used in the Battle of Britain) had the same guns as the Spitfire (8 .303 MGs)

The real tank busting Hurricane was the Mk IId which had 2 40mm cannons and 4 .303 MGs

The one with 4 20mm cannons was the Mk IIc and while that was used as ground attack it was also used as an interceptor
