Thanks for the find. Very cool to see another warbird flying!

We should have this plane. Already have the basic plane modeled, just have to change the armament, and give something to use besides the HurriIIc in certain scenarios.

I've seen 4 Hurries fly so far, I think there aren't any more flyworthy...untill this one.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

"awesome - wish they had a camera in the cockpit, tho'"

Thats what I've thought too many times now. The camera modules are very very small so the pilot could well have one attached to his helmet so we could see what he sees and hear what he hears. But of course the buggers are jealous of their experience, and rightly so! "If you only knew what it feels to fly one..."   :cry

Thanks Twinboom - I totally enjoyed that!

Question - what are the two extra outer guns on each wing?  Machine Guns? Cannon?  If MG's, does this mean it carried 12 .303's?

Indeed, 12x .303mgs; generally used as a strafer.

I'd imagine that when HTC get round to redoing the Hurricane Mk II, you would get gun options for 8 or 12 303s, or 4 hispanos.
