Hurricane MK1 pilot notes?
 

Does anyone know if it's possible to obtain the Mk1 pilot notes from anywhere?

I see it's possible to get the Mk2 and other Marks of the Hurri but that's not we're flying here is it?

I really want to see what those RAF pilots were looking at back in early 1940 to study their aircraft with.

Any help would be really appreciated,thanks.;)

Moggy has posted reference notes for engine management if that helps for starters.

A quick forum search should reveal the mystery ;)

Try Crecy Publishing here;

:grin:

The Hurricane Mk.I notes in print are very difficult to find (I've never seen them anyway) and Crecy certainly hasn't published them!

Didn't know that. It just says 'Hurricane' in the drop down list.
:(

No worries, the Hurri Mk.II notes are 10 a penny, the Hurri Mk.I notes are rarer than teeth on a hen.

Thanks for your help guys,I thought these pilot notes would be a challenge to get hold of.

Would it be possible to make a period looking reference card, like the one been done for the Stuka?

Just took a quick look around. Apparently we're not alone in looking for some written assistance...

Good find dj!

Yes,second that,great find,thank you very much.

Cheers, guys.

Here's another nice site with lots of background stuff about aircraft engines:

http://www.enginehistory.org/

Apparently, one could theoretically get a copy (printed or electronic) of a Hurricane I Pilot's Notes from the National Archives at Kew (GB):

Didn't go so far as to try this, though. The Engine History site has a Reference section with a lot of well, references to engine records present in the National Archives. Nothing for direct download, but that's probably a tall order given the amount of stuff present...

Excellent stuff!

Very helpful, and thanks for making the effort.

Now I'll see if I can get the Hurri off the ground with a little less trauma.
