In military aviation there were also the Hurricanes, the tough workhorses of the skies. Each plane played a vital role in the Battle of Britain that raged over the British and French coastline between July and October 1940. Sadly, the BoB Lancaster is the only one left flying, but the Hurricane is seeing something of a revival (perhaps due to the success of flights in restored two seater Spitfires) and you can now fly in a Hurricane too.

After all, you don't have to be an RAF veteran to have a lump in your throat when you hear the throaty purr of that finely tuned Rolls Royce Merlin engine. Many agree she simply epitomises the bravery of those who fought (with many paying the ultimate price) for freedom. The Mk26B is a 90% scale Spitfire for the 21st century. It's the brainchild of Mike O'Sullivan, the owner of Supermarine Aircraft. He and his band of merry aviators, technicians and engineers are building, flying and maintaining a fleet of 12 Mk26Bs to fill the skies with of Britain once again with that famous elliptical wing-shape that was so influential in the skies during WW2.
