Hurricane R4118
It was great to see this old Hawker Hurricane at Cosford last weekend.
Not many WWII aircraft still flying have a history as distinguished as R4118; a true veteran of the Battle of Britain, this Hurricane accounted for 5 Luftwaffe aircraft.
great shot Ian,at the Air Museum near here they held Robot Wars last weekend !
Brilliant picture great detail.
cor that’s nice! what an incredible series.
love the second one down, looks as if i could make a run and jump for that open cockpit 😀
and the last shot – gorgeous profile shot, not often seen.
Great catch mate, I’d be well chuffed with that.
Great set of shots of a "proper" aircraft.!! Excellent work.

Yeah the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight appeared, though they were without their Hurricane, the engine was spewing oil apparently. But this one was a better sight!

I would love to just sit in the cockpit – with it on the ground. You’d be cleared for takeoff tho Ang!

Hey, glad you like the wisteria pic Ian, you are most welcome 😀
Aye this is a beaut of a machine . It sounded terrific and a true veteran. Terrific shots all Ian and very well presented.
Superbly caught Ian – there’s nothing like these old Fighters to stir the emotions 🙂
