Mahogany Ridge Fell Runners
I never felt I could trust a bloke who didn't know his Spitfire from his Hurricane or his B17 from his B29.
Which reminds me that I was up on James' Thorn t'other night and sad to see there is very little of the Lancaster wreckage left which seems a bit sad, usually collect a bit and tidy it up but there isn't really enough to now.
Al, you numpty, the Spitfire was a monocoque construction while the Hurricane was frame and canvas, superficially similar but technologically worlds apart, having said that the Hurri had a dstinct advantage over the Spit in that it was nuch easier to repair and could take a lot more punishment, and although thge Spit gets all the glory, the Hurricane was in fact, statistically a much more successful aircraft. Oh yes, and the wings were a different shape.
They used the same engine. 12 cylinder Rolls Royce Merlin.
