Hurricane MKIIb
« on: March 02, 2006, 05:42:15 PM »
Engine: 1,280hp Rolls-Royce Merlin XX 12-cylinder V piston engine
Weight: Empty 5,500 lbs., Max Takeoff 7,300 lbs.
Wing Span: 40ft. 0in.
Length: 32ft. 2.5in.
Height: 13ft. 1in.
Performance:
Maximum Speed at 22,000 ft: 342 mph
Cruising Speed at 20,000 ft: 296 mph
Ceiling: 36,500 ft
Range: 480 miles
Armament:
Twelve 7.7mm (0.303in.) wing-mounted machine guns
Two 250, 500-lb bombs, or 8 rockets

Same engine and airframe as the Hurri MKIIc.  The differences are that it was considerably lighter, carried 12 -.303 mg's, and capable of carrying rockets or 1,000lbs of ord.  8,406 out of 14,231 hurricane's built were MKII's, not just MKIIc's, though the MKIIc out lasted other MKII's flying until mid-1942.

Is this a possibility?
