A special tribute to the Hawker Hurricane and its part in the Battle of Britain, this collector's autograph display includes the original signatures of three legendary Hurricane pilots: Jamie Jameson, Denis Crowley-Milling and Pete Brothers.

The Mk I Hawker Hurricane saw plenty of action in the Battle of France, where many of its pilots scored their first victories. Being a few years older than the Spitfire, more Hurricanes were operational at the start of the Battle of Britain, the type making up the backbone of Fighter Command’s operational squadrons. Though powered by the same Merlin engine it was a little slower than the Spitfire, but a steadier gun platform and could out-turn both the Spitfire and the Luftwaffe’s Me109. It could take more punishment and survive than most other fighters, its rugged construction often getting a badly damaged aircraft and its pilot safely home. Hurricane pilots destroyed two thirds of all the Luftwaffe aircraft shot down during the Battle of Britain.

This display ensemble commemorates the vital part played in the Battle of Britain by the Mk I Hurricane, and the determination and bravery of the pilots that flew it in combat. The highly accurate rendition by prominent aviation artist Darryl Legg is double mounted with gold plated RAF pilots wings and carries the original signatures of three of the greatest Battle of Britain pilots ever to fly the Hurricane in combat:

Air Commodore PAT 'JAMIE' JAMIESON  DSO DFC*

Air Marshal Sir DENNIS CROWLEY-MILLING  DSO DFC*
