Hurricane IIC PZ865 was completed in July 1944 as the last of 14,533 Hurricanes to be built and was given the inscription "Last of the Many" that it wore for several years. PZ865 was retained by the company for trial work. In 1950 PZ865 was given a civil registration of G-AMAU and in 1972 the aircraft was refurbished and presented to the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at RAF Coningsby. The BBMF repainted the aircraft in the colors of Karel Kuttelwascher's "Night Reaper", coded JX-E, and flew it for many years in these markings. In 2010, the aircraft was rebuilt once again and repainted in the colors of Canadian Flt Lt. Jimmy Whalen DFC Whalen's mount, coded EG-S, of South East Asia Command. Based on the Fury biplane and designed by Sydney Camm as a monoplane fighter, the Hurricane was first flown on November 6th, 1935. With its wide-set landing gear, easy handling, reliability, and stable gun platform, the Hurricane was suitable for a variety of different roles such as intruder, ground strafing and night fighter. Steel-tube construction meant cannon shells could pass right through the wood and fabric covering without exploding. The Hurricane underwent many modifications during its lifetime, including an upgraded Merlin engine and interchangeable multi-purpose wings, staging twelve 7.7mm guns and two 40mm anti-tank guns and carrying two 500lb bombs. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
