Spitfire or Hurricane?

[bluethrunthru]

Preference? Always a fan of the Hurricane myself. The beautiful shape shape of the Spitfire's elliptical wing cannot be denied but I have always liked the dumpy Hurricane. It got the more kills in the Battle of Britain too and was a very versatile plane in the fighter and ground attack roles in just about every theatre of war.

And just remember 2 days from now - 10th August - is the 80th anniversary of the start of the Battle of Britain - all those lads in their late teens and early twenties giving their all deserves at least a moments though.

Finally, Spitfire, Hurricane, Lanc or Mustang - anyone with a soul cannot fail to be moved by the sound of a Merlin at full chat - I hear one I always look up and dammit if its not always a day with tree pollen in the air and I struggle to see whats making the noise through moist eyes.

Such a shame Dame Vera couldn't have lived to see just one more anniversary. Bless them all.

Hurricane for me.


Spitfire is the more iconic of the two, but the Hurricane was the workhorse.

Depends on the colour of your slacks. Light colour always piss in a spitfire

Hurricane.

Hurricane for what and how it did.
Spitfire for its looks, but that’s relegated to 2nd place by the Mozzy.

In true Bluemoon tradition
No good, without pictures

Hurricane for winning the battle of Britain.

Spitfire for the soundtrack.

You need to check your calendar. 2 days from now is the 10th July, not the 10th of August as you stated.
