Hawker Hurricane Mk. I (P3717, G-HITT) & Hispano HA-1112-M4L Buchon
Hawker Hurricane Mk. I (P3717, G-HITT) and the Hispano HA-1112-M4L Buchon 'White 9' (G-AWHH) performing a dogfight. During the 'Battle of Britain' in 1940, the Hurricane along with the Spitfire would be matched against the Luftwaffe's Messerschmitt Bf-109 fighter. The Messerschmitt was more powerful than the Hurricane and had a better climb rate although the Hurricane could out-turn the 109 and was was more robust. For this reason the Spitfire would usually take on the German fighters and leave the German bombers to the Hurricanes.
