Flypast Hurricane Salute Magazine

There is another “special publication” currently available from all good magazine stockists that lists the Best of British aircraft from the past 100 years.

It’s all very intersting until you realise that the Hornet doesn’t appear?? :confused:

got that…they seen to have all, if not most, current frontline fighters which seems abit odd….i could understand one…the harrier but why the others? maybe typhoon

My personal gripe!

That is very true Robert. It is a worthy salute (I was just being grouchy!) there are many wonderful articles including the Hurricane’s own VC winning pilot who is dear to my heart.

I have spent years researching and bleeding over this wonderful aircraft and its designers, constructors, pilots, groundcrew and repairers so nice to see a decent salute.

The ‘Hurricane Salute’ is about pilots as well….don’t overlook the pilots.

Best Wishes.
Robert.

I take it this is available from all good newsagents? If so, I’ll make a note to try and catch it this weekend….

It is about time they did a special on this aircraft instead of most things just being spitfire, spitfire, spitfire, spitfire, spitfire etc

I will pop out and get one tomorrow.

Hello All

Never really got on top of what is a warbird, I have a flying Tiger Moth formally A17-300 built in 1940 and am rebuilding a Percival Proctor. I always feel uncomfortable calling them warbirds. Yet compaired to some ex-military aeroplane (say a Spitfire) that was purely used during non-war times my two aeroplanes likely have more claim to being warbirds that the Spitfire example.

Maybe I have some cultural cringe?

cheers

Interesting, I’m sure there was another publication that came out recently (unsure what mag) which either had a section, or a pull out on UK warbird restoration projects. My 1944 L4H, which although had been featured in the news sections of various publications in the months before, was not included in the list either. Now I know its only a cub, but it is a wartime veteran that did see combat service, which in my eyes does make it a warbird.

Seems theres a few comprehensive lists that aren’t too comprehensive!

Hi Rocketeer,

Thanks for letting us know that you consider the Flypast Hurricane Salute a worthwhile purchase. I will look forward to receiving it mid December when it arrives from the slow boat to Canada.

Sorry that your project didn’t make it onto the survivors list.

My god there’s a lot of engineering talent on this forum!-i mean, i very nearly got my stored MR-2 started this morning!
