    Just seen the TFC P-47, P-51, and I think a Spitfire, heading NE back to Duxford from Goodwood.

    Various aircraft participating at Dunsfold, most notably the BBMF heading off towards Overton after displaying, and a nice treat in the form of MH434 & Ferocious Frankie holding and doing some formation loops and wingovers. 😀

    A couple of other things to consider that were different on 434 in 1943 were the cannon shrouds and top cowling.

    The cannon shrouds were of the tapered type, (take a look at MK732 & PV270), and not what I believe are the later ‘e’ type, as fitted to 434 today. (These type of shrouds can be seen fitted during her time with the Dutch).

    As for the top cowling, I think you’ll find that she was fitted with the earlier ‘flat’ type (as can be seen on MKVIII MV154 ‘MT928’) as opposed to the later ‘blown’ type that she has today and also had while in service with the Dutch.

    Oh, almost forgot the earlier type exhausts as well!

    EDIT

    Just seen in Edgar Brooks post reference to the later type top cowling.

    Cheers

    Also spotted over Hindhead as well.

    Don’t TFC have RK858 sitting on their To Do list?

    Not anymore.

    Moved on to ARC/HFL a few years back IIRC.

    Not sure if this will help you, but checking through the CAA ANN’s for the currently airworthy Hurricanes fitted with HS props, it would seem that the prop types fitted are either the 23E50-505 with 6353A-21 blades or the 23E50-459 with 6353A-20 blades.

    And also, here’s a paragraph from the AAN (Issue 3) for HAC’s G-HURI :-

    The propeller fitted is a Hamilton Hydromatic Type 23E50-481-6503A-3. (Air Ministry Type A5/131) The Constant Speed Unit is a De Havilland AY122. BAe Hatfield have confirmed that this is an acceptable combination for use on the Hurricane.

    Issue 3: A Hamilton Standard Propeller type 23E50-473-6503A-3 was fitted to this aircraft at initial permit issue. Reference to the 23E50-481-6503A-3 is therefore incorrect. Hamilton Standard have confirmed that 6503A-3 propeller blades are acceptable for use with the –473 propeller. The 23E50–473 propeller differs from the 23E50-505 propeller fitted to Hawker Hurricane G-HURR, AAN 21948 refers, only in the propeller dome assembly. This change is considered to be minor and the Hamilton Standard 23E50-473 propeller is therefore considered acceptable for use on this aircraft.

    Cheers

    According to the CAA Airworthiness Approval Note (AAN), it is powered by an Alison V1710-C15, or a V1710-33 if you use the USAAF designation.
