A close formation of N°56 squadron Hurricanes Mk.I during 1939 or early 1940.

Pilots of Hurricanes, "E for Edward" and "H for Harry", have a rather low seat position in comparison with the pilot of "A for Ace".








Another exemple with N°1 Squadron Hurricanes Mk.IIC formation here with open canopies.

Quote:

The handle moves between two quadrants attached to the seat and engages in any one of six notches in the quadrant to lock the seat in the desired position. The total adjustment of the seat is 4 in.
