The doghouse on the Hurricane is the wooden structure to the rear and below the canopy, the canopy is still the canopy however.

Just to confuse things further, I’m sure I’ve seen a reference to the radiator structure being called the dog-house. Which is it? The canopy itself would seem to fit ‘greenhouse’ rather better than dog-house…

I’m sure that Digby’s been in the doghouse plenty of times.

Nice engine.

Would that be the early one piece cylinder head and bank and if so the only one of its type flying?

Mark

Has one piece heads and banks.

Has the Shuttleworth Merlin III ever been rebuilt?

I thought Shuttleworths Sea-Hurricane also flies with a Merlin III. Shortly after it made it’s first flight it was always reported that its engine was the oldest in the world.

The article says it’s a Merlin III so presumably it must be.
