I would like to the do the Hurricane next but will leave it open to what the community wants to do.

Granted, the Hurricane will probably be a short thread as it does not have the emotional response of the Spitfire and its stability and control is not so dramatic as the Spitfire's.
I hope it to be about the 109, so that everybody is going be satisfied.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
