I know its a defiant  but it has a hurricane body. And btw, the first flights they took were VERY successful especially with the enemy behind them.:p  SO the safest place would be infront of them.... btw, was the tailgun 2 or 4 303's?

no it doesnt, it was completely different.  Hurricane was built by Hawker and the Defiant was built by Boulton Paul.

4 x .303's

Different wing profiles, different construction, different manufacturer, different engine and fuselage... but, yeah I guess they're similar... they both have those roundels and.. oh they have pilots too.
