Hawker Hurricane At The Lsfm

[Eddie M.]

I took a trip to Galveston today and, as usual, I stopped off at the Lone Star Flight museum. This Hurricane just came out of restoration and I thought y'all might like to see it. It's the first one I've seen in person. Enjoy!

Wow....did they ever look this good the first time out of the hangar?  That's impeccable!

Nice one, Eddie ! She certainly is a beauty.......Hurricanes ?

I'm sorry to announce that there's been a mishap and the Hurricane and Spitfire have been damaged. A sad day for me indeed. Here's the Spitfire involved.

That sucks. Hopefully they find a brake fault.....or else I wouldn't want to be that pilot !

Interesting story about the Hurri's markings as well. Aviation history is rules !
