Fron Hawker Restorations website:

“Our 6th Hurricane is the only static example that we have worked on. Although complete in every detail this aeroplane will be unairworthy but indistinguishable from a flying example. Once complete this will be house at the RAAF Museum in Dayton, Ohio.”

As suspected by several, lifted from Frank Mason’s book – verbatim. Pictures in the same order, same text with the addition of the relevant serial nos.

IIRC, the Napier Dagger was a bit of a dog. Frank Halford was a brilliant engine designer, but like the rest of us, he had off days. 🙂

I’ll check and see if it’s there. I believe that the last time I checked it wasn’t registering in there at all, like it didn’t even exist. Which is understnadable I suppose, given that it has no drivers!

Shouldn’t happen that way. Windows can’t ignore it. Either it installs what seem to be the right drivers or asks for some. If you don’t give it the driver disc it calls it an unknown device.

There are quite a few BIG lakes in that part of Austria. I wonder what else is in them.

I found recently I’d been wrong for years and a Hunter’s got 2 Avons.

Windows installs, or should, VGA drivers by default. I had exactly the same problem within the last 10 days or so. I had cancelled the default VGA drivers, knowing they were the wrong ones, but the new drivers (I think that was Ati too) wouldn’t install until it had the VGA ones.

Check Device Manager for your network card. It’s probably identified it as something else which means it will never recognise it. If you find it there, update the drivers with the right ones.

There’s only some much you can take of John Nichol 😉

About a minute in my case.

I can’t help with the video but…

It would appear Warby was fairly adept at writing his own legend. If you can find a book by Sqn. Ldr. Harry Coldbeck called The Maltese Spitfire (apart from being an excellent book) it tends to put a different slant on Warby’s exploits. Coldbeck was a highly respected NZ PR pilot on Malta at the same time as Warburton was there.
