Early Hurri = MkI

The Rotol hurri had alrdy metal covered wing (mkIa)

Perso as a child I liked very much the Hurricane with it's strange rear fuselage structure that looks better as a 1/72th model.

Thx Sutts for providing us with raw "intelligence" data from 1c. We need more like this !

Ths Spit spar with the big adjusting bolt is simply too scary to stare at !

Interesting pics there TomcatViP, thanks. I wasn't aware of the early fabric covered wings on the Hurri. I guess if the fabric burnt away it would fly like a brick Scary stuff.
