The Hawker Hurricane & The Polish Squadron That Defended Britain
Often overshadowed by the Spitfire, the Hawker Hurricane was the true workhorse of the Royal Air Force during World War II-especially in the Battle of Britain. In this video, we explore its design, combat history, and why it was the backbone of the RAF's fighter force.
We also take a closer look at Hawker Hurricane G-HURI, painted in the markings of 302 ‘City of Poznań’ Squadron, which was stationed at RAF Duxford in September 1940. Discover the incredible bravery and skill of the Polish pilots who helped turn the tide of battle-often the unsung heroes of the war, much like the Hurricane itself.

Looking forward to every one of these.
A beuatiful design. Capable of taking serious damage and easier to repair than its more famous sister the Spitfire. Great effort recignising our allies.
a beautiful example of quantity as its own quality
What a brilliant aircraft it's one of my main favourite aircraft the hurricane is a true beauty. cheers Gary 🇬🇧
Very cool!
Your history is incorrect, the Vickers Valiant was the first V bomber to drop lives weapons in conflict, during the Suez crisis.
Brilliant idea for a channel ..... subbed straight away!!
tq
👍👍👍
🎉
Thank you for your efforts.
Such a moving story and incredibly important work by all of the team and volunteers involved.
By the small sizes of those recovered plane parts I think it's fair to say the team can rest easy in the likelihood that Lt. John W. Fisher has been entirely returned to mother earth. Well done, great story, very moving.
The team at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre are fantastic, A real pleasure to work with.
A wonderful, fascinating aircraft. Enjoyed every minute of it.
Fantastic story
Great mini doc about Just Jane. I was just wondering what the latest news was with respect to getting her airworthy and this video delivered. The background info and interviews were a great bonus. I need to get out next summer and see this magnificent bird taxi!

The Dream Team of aviation engineers made the Eagle. I first saw it in action in ‘75
f15 eagle is a legendary technological marvel and will stay in service until the 2030s, this demonstrates how useful this place is to the usaf like the strike eagle and the eagle EX
F4U Corsair.
I got f4 on the first photo
Its the F-4 Phantom, in case you were wondering. And if you're mad at me because I spoiled it, too bad. You checked the comments.
B24 liberator moment
Seething airfield? Blimey, i grew up just down the road from there, flew models out there with my dad, learnt to drive on the remnants of the perimeter track....so pleased to see it still standing and being cared for.
Thank you for your service Sir 🙏 ❤️
I'm pretty sure that's a B25 Mitchell.
Ask about the 7 yr old child a dollar and a chocolate bar to relieve stress
While serving at Ft Campbell in 87 I got an opportunity to go to an air 60 range and all I can say is I'm in complete awe of anyone who actually did that in combat
welcome home brother!

All gave something Some gave it all Rest easy boys
There’s an amazing bond between aircrews and the ship that carried them through war, and very few will ever understand
It's a shame that they killed nose art. When I retired the only thing that was permissible was a name that an 0-5 or above approved.
Damn! 75mm cannon?
Thank you for your service and sacrifices SIR.
Real heros❤

My pop still has moments, im 44 and i know when hes remembering things...he still has his scrapbooks with photos of the guys who didn't make it...his awards in a box, his dress jacket that at 12 i could wear. I understand soldier 🫡
Welcome Home, Sir.
Thank you for your service
At a Pop A Smoke reunion in San Diego I found the helicopter I crewed in Viet Nam with HMM 165. The bird still belonged to HMM 165. It was like a reunion with a family member! I recognized the Falstaff beer can bukllet hole patches immediately!
"Welcome home and Thank You for my FREEDOM, Sir"...
