Hurricane Country
Released on the 65th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain a new limited edition
to commemorate Churchills famous few. Stalwart of the Battle of Britain, the
Hawker Hurricane equipped the majority of the RAF squadrons that defended
Britain during that epic and decisive air battle in the summer of 1940. At the
forefront of the air fighting over the southern counties of England, the young
Hurricane pilots of 501 Squadron covered themselves in glory. Nicolas Trudgians
painting sets the scene: a victim of yesterdays aerial conflicts, a crashlanded
German Ju88 of KG30 lies on the edge of a Sussex field; the attention of two
members of the local Home Guard is drawn to the Hurricanes of 501 Squadron as
the fighters race back at low-level to Gravesend for fuel and ammunition. Within
minutes they will scramble aloft again to rejoin the fray. |
