FROM KEN HARRISON
Anyone else spot the sole Hawker Hurricane flying over Brigg Sunday morning?
Spied at about 25 past ten - or should that be Ten, 25 Hours - above Grammar School Road, flying in a north-westerly direction.
Unlike its more famous hangar-mate, the Spitfire, which was especially designed and essentially all-metal, the Hurricane was, nevertheless, the main British fighter during the first few years of WW2. It was a wooden aircraft and was a natural development of its fore-runner biplanes of the 1930's......some even describe it as a Hawker Hart with only one wing.
Roger and Out!
