if you mention the hawker hurricane (the true hero)

Hawker Hurricane the true hero you got to be kidding me!!

The true Hero’s are 6 feet under or at least a lot of them are and the survivors getting fewer every year. It is the men who flew these machines that are the true heros and never should one forget.

Ok I might just be getting shirty over this thread but planes are machines and while we all get attached to inanimate objects over the years my full and complete repect goes to every last one of those brave young men that fought and died for us.

and I might just let you get away with saying that these aircraft became icons of the Battle of Britain which indeed they were.
