Excellent photos. As much as I love Spits, I sometimes think the Hurricane takes a better picture…

I see PT’s P-40 is still in her film colours! Looks nice, though. Shame it’s only temporary…

Shuttleworth Sea Hurricane
Peter vacher MK1
HAC Hurricane II
Hangar 11 Hurricnae IIb

No Spitfire but the Kennet Seafire and Syraider were on show

Thank you for the Info dave 😎 I guess that was the last time you saw the t Kennet Skyraider before her new paint job? :confused:

Nothing wrong with Spitfires Stangman 🙂 Some more nice shots wish Peter would paint his P-40 did that type server with the RAF if so would look good in RAF Derset colours 😀

A wonderful sight, wouldn’t it be amazing to get all 6 together, you can never have enough Hurricanes.

Absolutely – I think we may well see all six together next year at some point, perhaps in September.

Is it true that they shot down more enemy aircraft than all the other RAF put together?.

More than any other method employed to destroy e/a in fact.

I never realised there were so many flyable Hurricanes about, I can remember when there was only one!

Now six in the UK and six abroad!
