Description Extended Information
 
Corgi AA35504 RAF Hawker Sea Hurricane Mk. IB Fighter - Fleet Air Arm No. 880 Squadron, HMS Indomitable, Indian Ocean, May 1942 (1:32 Scale) "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
- British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, commenting on the British airmen in the Battle of Britain

The Hawker Hurricane was the first monoplane to join the Royal Air Force as a fighter aircraft, capable of reaching speeds in excess of 300-mph in level flight. Often compared with the sleek-looking Supermarine Spitfire, the Hurricane, in actuality, shouldered the brunt of the fighting during the "Battle of Britain", equipping more than three-fifths of the RAF's Fighter Command squadrons. When it lost its edge as a dogfighter in 1941, the Hurricane took on a number of other roles, including ground attack missions and maritime combat air patrols.

This particular 1:32 scale replica of a Sea Hurricane Mk. IB was flown by No. 880 Squadron, which was part of the Fleet Air Arm embarked on HMS Indomitable, then transiting the Indian Ocean in May 1942. Features retractable landing gear, removable engine cowling, hinged doors, opening wing gun access doors, fully articulated control surfaces (air brakes, rudder, ailerons, and elevator) and pilot seated within the cockpit.
