Hawker Hurricane Anniversary (85 years)

[Dan-Sam]

Barry posted an interesting celebration thread about P-51 first flight a week ago (80 years ago in October the Mustang was born!). There is another anniversary today: 85 years from Hawker Hurricane first flight

Interesting how 5 years of fast developing can make a difference!

Happy Anniversary, Hawker Hurricane! You were vital to the British & Commonwealth war effort.

Indeed - and within that time frame the first jets took to the air !
