RAF Hawker Hurricane Mk1 G-HITT P3717 SW-P
History of P3717
Built in 1940: Manufactured by Hawker Aircraft Ltd. and handed over to the RAF in June 1940.
Battle of Britain service: P3717 was delivered to No. 253 Squadron in July 1940 and was stationed at RAF Kirton in Lindsey before moving to RAF Kenley.
Combat action: Flown by Polish Pilot Officer W. Samolinski, the aircraft was heavily damaged during an encounter with Messerschmitt Bf 110s in August 1940, during which Samolinski was credited with destroying a Bf 110 over Redhill, Surrey.
Further service and export: The damaged Hurricane was returned to Hawker for significant repairs. It later saw service with No. 257 Squadron. The airframe was eventually modified to a Mk. IIa standard with the new serial number DR348 and sent to Russia by the end of 1941.
Recovery and restoration
Recovery: The aircraft was recovered from its crash site in Russia in the late 1990s.
Restoration: Its extensive, award-winning restoration was undertaken by Hawker Restorations, a leading specialist in Hurricane projects. Hawker Restorations is known for its meticulous work, with expertise and tooling developed specifically for the Hawker Hurricane and other vintage aircraft.
Return to flight: The aircraft made its first post-restoration flight in March 2017.

Eight years ago today, the RAF's No. 55(R) Squadron launched a six-ship formation of Dominie T1s on a UK-tour and a practice ahead of the type's retirement from RAF service just two days later.
The formation is seen here in the process of getting airborne from RAF Cranwell. Quite a sight!
The RAF Voyager is based on the modern Airbus A330-200 passenger aircraft and, in conjunction with our Boeing C-17A Globemaster III fleet, provides the RAF with Strategic Air Transport and Aeromedical capability. In addition, Voyager is an extremely effective Air-to-Air Refuelling asset, which is utilised to enable a variety of RAF aircraft to operate for extended periods. (from RAF site)
