Six Hotspur IIs on an outing, towed behind three Hawker Hectors. The three ageing, camouflaged Hawker Hectors on the left are the tugs for the three rearmost gliders. Audaxes, Lysanders and Master IIs also served in this role.
During 1942 RAF pilots were training army crews to fly Hotspurs. Carrying a pilot and seven troops, the Hotspur was able to glide 83 miles from 20,000ft. The original specification had a requirement which called for a glide of 100 miles from that height.Самолёты на фотографии: General Aircraft Hotspur / Twin Hotspur / GAL.48 - Великобритания - 1940Hawker Hector - Великобритания - 1936
