  • I don't care what anyone else says, the Spitfire and the Hurricane are the most symbolic aircraft of WWII; The Yanks can keep their P-51 for all I care.

  • The Merlin sound is unique.A symphony.

  • @sausagedog63 the Hawker Hurricane was the winner of ww2 and it was the best as it was easier to manufacture & can take more damage than a spitfire.... bot there was not a lot in it wen it was in the air :)

  • @theindiekidable As far as I know, the Hurri was easier to fly, was a better gun platform, was slightly more manouverable in the turn, and was more rugged. But the Spit was faster, more modern, and had a much larger potensial for developement.

  • The P51 mustang was only any good when it was fitted with the merlin engine. The spitfire did have the edge3 over the hurricane but both were fine aircraft.

  • Can somebody tell me which is a better aircraft? I know the Hurricane is under-rated compared with the Spitfire. I would love to fly either!

  • What about the almost forgotton Typhoon aircraft. Another "hot" ship!

  • To 105porterhouse: Thanks for the explanation. Engine speed is of course controllable. I wonder if these aircraft had rev. limiters. Doubtful!

  • @leesherman100 - the only instrument of great interest there is the tach - I'm not sure if they had a tendency to over-rev on take off...

  • What instrument is the Huricaine pilot constantly lookin at? He can't keep his eyes off of it. It is on the R.H. side of the panal. The ground guy is eyeballing it also. It is after all, a mechanical contrivance. Hey, what could possibly go wrong???!!!

  • @JNL19901 no Merlin, built under licence by Packard
