Hawker Hurricane Mk I, c 1940.
Hawker Hurricane Mk.I. L.1592. This particular machine fought over Dunkirk and in the Battle of Britain.

It demonstrates the longevity of the pioneers’ designs, with the ‘stick and the string’ replaced by metal; and this early example retains fabric covering on the wings.
