Framed Print of 100 years of the RAF
Hurricane Is of 111 Squadron lined up at Northolt in 1938. The squadron was the first to be equipped with the Hawker fighter, receiving its first aircraft at the start of the year.
The Hawker Hurricane is one of the classic fighters of all time, designed and built for war. It was at the forefront of Britains defence in 1940 and it played a major part in achieving the victory of 1945.
The Hurricane was the first British monoplane eight-gun fighter, the first RAF aircraft to exceed 300 mph in level flight and the first production fighter with a retractable main undercarriage.
During the Battle of Britain, RAF Fighter Command fielded more Hurricanes than Spitfires, and Hurricanes achieved a similarly greater proportion of combat kills during the Battle.
A remarkable total of 14, 533 Hurricanes were built and the aircraft served operationally on every day throughout hostilities, in every operational theatre and in many roles. At the end of World War Two in 1945, Hurricanes were still in the front-line helping to ensure final victory in the Far East.
