Canadian Hurricanes (spinners)

A quick trawl through some of my old Hurricane info mentions that the early CCF versions utilised a ‘cut down’ Fairey Battle prop (no spinner)
Canada had over 700 Battles sent over for training use and the Canadian Hurricanes were also used in the training system, so stocks of these props were no doubt available,any performance issue not being so important for training.
As an aside CC&F were unusual in having a lady as its chief engineer at that time,she is mentioned in several Canadian publications as ‘The Queen of the Hurricanes’.
No doubt the early production machines and any ‘specials’ would have been used for publicity material at the time.These would have been Rolls Royce Merlin versions.Later versions utilised the Packard production.
