We talk about the Hurricanes and Spitfires in BoB, not only the 303 squadron.
But if you have any proof, please share, if the Hurricanes shot down more fighter than Spitfires. I found only this (or similar):
"Both the Supermarine Spitfire and the Hurricane are renowned for their part in defending Britain against the Luftwaffe — generally the Spitfire would intercept the German fighters,
leaving Hurricanes to concentrate on the bombers, but despite the undoubted abilities of the "thoroughbred" Spitfire, it was the "workhorse" Hurricane that scored the higher number of RAF victories during this period, accounting for 55 percent of the 2,739 German losses, according to Fighter Command, compared with 42 per cent by Spitfires.[39]"
But there is no exact numbers, how many bomber, how many fighter...
