Thank heaven for rich geezers and their private collections!

To me, the Hurricane is/was a beautiful aircraft. It's lines have a grace to them. The example above has the early war paint scheme.

I love the Hurri. There's just something about that humped back and rounded wings. Of course, they were 3-1 in quantity against the Spits in the Battle of Britain.

True, but the comparison is much like comparing a gazelle (the Spitfire) to a Highland Stag (the Hurricane) isn't it?
