I was only quoting what I was told when I visited the museum. I do not pretend to be an expert on all things aviation related, rather someone who takes more than a passing interest. I am always open to correction. I know my aircraft by silhouette (?) but as for different variations in engines and armaments, serial numbers etc, forget it!
Credit where credit is due, it is amazing what those good people have done with the Hurricane. As an Aerospace engineer myself I can appreciate the quality of work and fully understand what damage corrosion can do. We at Westland Transmissions have lost millions of pounds worth of gearbox parts to corrosion over the years even before said parts have been mated to their respective airframes.
To see a Hurricane, a Spitfire and a Gladiator together would be an incredible sight. The Battle of Malta Memorial Flight!
