- Hawker Hurricane is a British single-seat fighter aircraft that was designed and predominantly built by Hawker Aircraft Ltd for the Royal Air Force (RAF). Although largely overshadowed by the Supermarine Spitfire, the aircraft became renowned during the Battle of Britain, accounting for 60% of the RAF's air victories in the battle, and served in all the major theatres of the Second World War.
Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft used by the Royal Air Force and many other Allied countries throughout the Second World War. The Spitfire continued to be used into the 1950s both as a front line fighter and in secondary roles. It was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft and was the only Allied fighter in production throughout the war. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

My Dad was in the AFC and then the RAF during the second world war in which he flew Hurricanes and Spitfires, he always told me not to believe what I heard about Spitfires saving the day during the war as it was the Hurricane that saved us, my Dad said that when he flew Spits in action it would take the best part of half an hour or more sometimes to re-fuel and re-arm one, whereas when he flew the Hurricane the turnaround time was ten to fifteen minutes.
Nice video.. thank you.
The Lancaster, Spitfire & Hurricane are all 3..flying memorials to the 1000's who lost their lives.
My uncle, a Lanc pilot - 100 squadron, was killed returning from a mission, February 15th 1943.
RIP all who gave their tomorrow's so that we may live ours.
If you were in any way associated with the United Kingdom either by birth or other means you cannot help get a lump in your throat when seeing and hearing these aircraft, they were truly 'the few' and thank god they didnt give up.
Saw a lancaster flying not high up from my home, it was huge, eargasmic and just awesome.
Lightowler says it all! The hawker and Avro are sweet but I'm obsessed with the spit. The noise of the super marine is just awesome. Also the spit is the best looking lol
I view the Spitfire and the Hurricane as being perfect complimentary aircraft during the Battle of Britain.
The Hurricane was tough and sturdy and made an excellent gun platform when going after the bombers - although it did score some notable successes against the Bf 109E4 when flown by a skilled pilot.
The Spitfire Mk1 was the equal overall of the Bf 109E4 - a much needed asset that won the battle.
Thanks for posting. I used to go every year to the Friendly Foes airshow in Niagara and I always had a great time. It is a shame Russell doesn't put the show on any more. Last I heard he had sold the Spit and was selling the 109 and the Hurricane. :(
Thanks for posting. I used to attend this airshow most years at the Russell airfield. Loved how informal it was and how close you could get. Not the big crush of some of the other shows. If you guys look closely at the very end you'll see the original 109 with a bad dent in the wing. The pilot clipped a flagpole on takeoff but was able to recover the plane.
Good filmiing, loved all this as I have flown in the twoseater PT 462 as a volunteer groundcrew.
Your film brings back memories for me. Thank you.
Absolutely Glorious. Thankyou for sharing this with us
Friendly reminder: These fellas are being PAID to fly these planes.
The most beautiful plane in the World.... The Spitfire
I used to hear that noise at least once a week. I miss that sound so...
I wonder how it was in 1941, in the skies of Britain. The sound of thousands of aircraft fighting, German aggressors facing the just fury of the British combatants. It would certainly give me the creeps, not of fear, but of proud to have these brave men fighting for me and for Freedom. Greetings to the brave pilots of RAF in Second World War.
Carlos Henrique Xavier Endo the Battle of Britain ended in September 1940. But the attacks carried on until the flying bombs of 1945
Hurricane is my personal favourite.
such a majestic sight! thankyou for posting!
Its absolutely correct to call it the Battle of Britain. There were numerous battles over Scotland and even some raids to Northern Ireland. Squadrons 602 and 603 were scottish squadrons. Germans often use England as a synonym for Britain just as the British call the Neatherlands, Holland. Nothing to do with PC.
Back in the days when we had a great engineering nation
Yeah, my Grandad flew a hurricane in the war. Missed the Battle of Britain though but fought over Germany near the end of the war
Lovely, thanks for posting.
The Queens flight a testament of our strength
Well, I've heard rumours about one under restoration, but I don't know how true they are. There's definitely a Mosquito up and flying again though. You don't even need to see it, just the sound is a treat all of its own.
we still have a oparational Lancaster flying today in Canada :)
It was called the Battle of Britain because that is what Churchill dubbed it at the time. "…the Battle of France is over. I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin."[
Britain comprises England, Scotland, Wales (and part of Ireland) all of which were under one Government at the time. This is not PC but geopolitical fact.
Merlins..the sound of freedom :)
The biggest issue for the Merlin engine in these aircraft was the carburetor. It restricted the types of manoeuvers that could be employed. On the other hand, the Bf109 was handicapped by it's leading edge slats which tended to deploy at inopportune moments to interfere with the pilots gunnery. As such it was a tossup as to which was better but if the measure is of lead on target the British fighters were better gun platforms and ultimately had the advantage of being closer to home.
I imagine by the 'Niagra Falls' painted on the fire engine, this was in the Americas? That would make this the 'other' Lancaster, as opposed to the only other flyer, PA474 whom we know and love in Britain as the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight flagship. Nice to see a Lancaster that isn't PA474, to know that ours isn't the only one. Must be lonesome for the poor old thing.
What a treat it would be to ship that one over here and have two Lancasters in formation over Dover!
Excellent !
I agree....."The merlin engine is music." Only thing better than a Merlin.......4 Merlins!
And finaly,ME-109 Beautiful
wow the hurricane is such a beautiful aircraft!!!!!!
interesting tha the spit appears to have a little more dihedral than the hurricane yet was mor aerobatic..... great vid
The Hurricane could sustain a lot of damage due to being fabric covered,bullets often would pass through the fuselage.
Great video. Thanks for posting this. The merlin engine is music
Good bit of kit the Hurricane..
^^ This is not spam. This is correct.
It's known as the Battle of Britain, because that's what Churchill dubbed it. This guy is right.
QED> It is the Canadian plane featured on the film.
I like very much is the beatiful video
Correct. Even a simple check on Wikipedia proves this correct
Any time. I imagine it's because the uploader doesn't appreciate being corrected on his own video. The Germans call it the Air Battle for England and the rest of us call it the Battle of Britain. Hence, it's the Battle of Britain.
Hurries pull to the left like bloody hell on take off, until you can trim the darn things out!
The Battle of Britain
Great video ... but I have a question because of the painting or camouflage shown here: when both were forming up at 2:05 they turn right and then several sun reflections from the wings can be seen. At wartime did the planes had the same "glossy" painting?
Greaat video--but where is it taken ?
spit fire spits fire
Merlin Engines for ever.....
Hurricane And Spit together. damn........ i want to see these at our airshow here. tired of always seeing mustangs.
It was vital for Germany to secure air supremacy to enable a seaborne invasion fleet. It would have worked had they won the Battle of Britain as they could then have bombed the crap out of the Royal Navy that would have opposed an invasion fleet. It was vital for Britain to prevent the Germans from achieving this. It is what represented victory for us.
@williamblair11 the hurricane was a very good gun platform and far more forgiving in take off and landing with it's wide undercarriage but that is where it's advantages end. The hurricane by 1941 was outclassed purly as a fighter hence why it went to ground attack. the spitfire had far more development potential which was proven wth the amount of different mks that served thoughout the war
@tacfoley Sony XDCAM EX
check out the Royal Canadian Navy, and the escorts of convoys to England, no you did not stand alone completely, took a while for us Canucks to get some gear together, you have much of my respect, interesting things happened, even good aviation fuel from the USA made the hawker hurricane and the spitfire much better contenders
Actually you will find that German bombers targeted air bases and cities up and down the East coast of Great Britain stretching into Scotland. You will also find that the Battle of Britain was fought in Wales as well. Therefore it was the Battle of BRITAIN and not simple just England.
TheCodexBoss thank you for that comment I am from Wales at a city called Swansea which was totally blitzed during the Battle of Britain.
followed by the concorde!
It has always been known as the Battle of Britain (not "for"). The name was taken from one of Churchill's speeches to the House of Commons in which he said, "…the Battle of France is over. I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin."
Nothing to do with "PC".
The bf109 was technically superior, the hurricane mentally broke luftwaffer not because of it's superiority but because it was tough. The British pilots loved the hurry because it could take beating and protect the pilots.
If you like large capacity V12 engines, this is the video for you!
Your not wrong, 6 supercharged 27 litre Rolls Royce Merlin engines, not half bad. I like the Lancaster and the hurricane best. They did a majority of the dirty work. Them lads had bigger balls than us lot for sure.
Antony Collingwood couldn't agree more Antony
If it wasn't for these epic machines and the even more epic men who flew them we would be speaking German
Our country is fucked
Both my grandads are turning in their graves
+Petey Pablo germany's fucked now, they'll be speaking arabic before long!
Burce was so you would rather have the world ruled by the nazi mentality (if you are not one of them then you will die), me personally I am very grateful to the people who defeated them to stop the genocide, but like everyone you can have an opinion.
I spoke English until I entered school in the United States now I wpeak american. LOL
the best part is at 3:39 you'll see
Thanks Phinfan. How the dullards on here can vote negatively against verifiable fact I have really no idea.
Its possible the two-seater plane is from Canada we trained pilots here as well from Britain
well number 1 say that to me face to face and we'll see who's so small, 2 we are also one of the smallest nations yet we owned half the world and still own a third of it
South East of England
I always felt a little sorry for the Hawker Hurricane and it's crews. It never got the credit it deserved especially during the battle of britian where it shot down more aircraft than the spitfire. The bottom line is the hurricane is ugly, and the spitfire is beautiful. Not fair at all!
lots of anti-english comments on here, the english stood against germany all alone, for two years, I think the english deserve some respect.
The only things that are ugly around here, sweetheart, are the thoughts in your head.
Beautiful planes from an innovative people. End of.
Lo
Whats better than 2 Merlin Engines why of course 4 of the buggers
I have watched --2-- documentaries on TV, over the last ten years, where a large team of -military historians and tacticians, using all available data, and aided by modern computers, to work out an agreeable likely outcome, to the Nazi attack on Britain. In both programmes, the result would have been--A disaster for the Germans. The Royal Navy WOULD have destroyed too many landing craft & ships . Hitler would not commit enough effort. Oh--and, the team was international, with several Germans.
@ObltKG4 i agree, but you try telling die-hard nazis on other vids., that they actually LOST the Battle of Britain!
Camo kaze, if you want to make a negative satement say it to my face you paracite
Nothing wrong with the translation dude it’s accurate, the battle took place over england, the germans wanted to invade england. the english call it the battle for britain for "PC" reasons, nothing more, it ain't historically correct to call it the battle for britain. the germans call it the "air battle for england", I know this, I have studied in germany. In fact, many other european nations teaches it the same. Accept it and move on.
It's like british english, no such thing, the english speak english with english accents and dialects, if you want to be specific you would say "english english". england > english people > english languge > english accents and dialects, same principle yes? logical. do not expect other peole to adhere to your "PC" / social engineering shite , this is not to offend you, just pointing it out to you. I have learnt "english english" in school, others may learn american english.

planes used to be so amazing... stupid jets :/
