Hawker Hurricane Mark I
Aircraft & Exhibits, JAN 1940-MAY 1972, London, Hangar Three/Four, 72/A/1404
The Hawker Hurricane Mk I entered service in 1937 as the RAF's first eight-gun monoplane. During the Battle of Britain Hurricanes were more numerous than Spitfires and shot down over 60% of all German aircraft destroyed.
Supermarine Spitfire Mark Ia
Aircraft & Exhibits, SEP 1940-FEB 1944, London, Hangar Three/Four, 78/A/872
More than any other aircraft, the Spitfire has become a much-loved symbol of winning against the odds. Designed by RJ Mitchell, its speed, agility and firepower made it one of the RAF's leading fighter aircraft of the Second World War.
Hawker Typhoon Mk. IB
Aircraft & Exhibits, FEB 1944-JAN 1949, London, Hangar Three/Four, 74/A/27
Designed as a replacement for the Hurricane and Spitfire, the Typhoon was the first RAF fighter capable of exceeding 400mph when it entered service in 1941. This speed allowed Typhoons to successfully combat the newer, more capable aircraft coming into German service at the same time, such as the Fw-190, easily matching them at low levels.
English Electric Canberra PR.3 WE139
Aircraft & Exhibits, 1953-1969, London, Hangar Three/Four, 69/A/695
The Canberra long-range, photo-reconnaissance aircraft was one of several versions of the Canberra bomber, and one of the success stories of the post-war British aircraft industry. Many British-built aircraft were exported and production also took place under licence in the United States of America and Australia.
