Preowned, Resealed, Mint

Sydney Camm's Hurricane was the RAF's first monoplane fighter and the aircraft that did most of the killing in the Battle of Britain, equipping more squadrons than any other type. The Mk I carried eight Brownings behind a Merlin III, while the Mk IIB of 1941 added the Merlin XX, twelve guns and racks for bombs or drop tanks, turning it into the Hurribomber for cross Channel and desert work. Its fabric and tube rear fuselage made it easy to repair in the field, which kept squadrons flying when Spitfires were still scarce.
