battle of britain 1940.

spitfire v hurricane

Hurricane was not as fast, but it could out turn a spit and a 109!! it was a more stable gun platform also, and could take far more battle damage. Due to the wider landing gear it was considerably easier to land than the spit. The hurricane due to being made differently to the spit (stretched fabric) meant it was easier and quicker to repair and get back into a fight.

In my eyes, the hurricane is much nicer looking than the spit!! she's a beauty. If someone offered me right now a spitfire or a hurricane then i'd take the hurricane without even having to think about it.
