Точная судьба прототипа Hurricane неизвестна. В начале Второй мировой войны он находился на хранении в Бруклендсе. Считается, что какое-то время на нем летал летчик-испытатель фирмы "Hawker" Т. П. Фитцджеральд, действуя против немецких бомбардировщиков в окрестностях заводского аэродрома (в 1937 году самолет оснастили вооружением).
SETTING THE PACE: A welcome stranger, the new Hawker monoplane fighter, being taken for an early test flight by Flt. Lt. P. W. S. Bulman. Powered with a Merlin, the latest liquid-cooled Vee-twelve Rolls-Royce, it uses almost every modern aid to performance. This Flight photograph indicates how carefully its designer, Mr. S. Camm, and his colleagues have considered aerodynamic cleanliness in order to reap the fullest advantage of the immense power output. Doubtless the Merlin does not "over-rev" in attaining the magic 300 m.p.h. mentioned in Parliament by Sir Philip Sasson.

The Hurricane, which, like its flight companion, mounts the Rolls-Royce Merlin, has already been ordered in quantity. Flt. Lt. Bulman's homely headgear in this picture is a tribute to the civilising influence of the modern enclosed cockpit.

Nevertheless in the new monoplane Flt. Lt. P. W. S. Bulman has a doubtless fascinating subject for investigation and the R.A.F. the fastest fighter in the air. A single-seater, it mounts the equally new Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, so far not type-tested.

STEEP AND SLOW: One outstanding feature of the Hawker Service types is their docility, which goes hand in hand with extreme performance. It may be assumed that a generous measure of that same "niceness" has been instilled into the new monoplane. The flaps, it will be seen from this Flight photograph, are of large area, and should steepen the glide considerably. Doubtless the somewhat "stilty" retractable undercarriage is accounted for by the immense airscrew used to absorb the terrific output of the Rolls Merlin.

No.85 began operating Hurricanes from September 1938 from Debden, Essex, before joining the British Expeditionary Force in 1940. Delivered from new to 85, P3408 went on to serve with no less than another ten units, before being struck off charge in July 1944.

Hurricane Mk IA (позднего выпуска). Отличительными чертами Hurricane Mk IA позднего выпуска были крыло с металлической обшивкой и трехлопастный винт изменяемого шага с удлиненным коком (обтекателем). Использование нового винта позволило улучшить взлетные характеристики, увеличить скороподъемность и, в незначительной мере, скорость.

Hurricane Mk IIA. Хотя большинство истребителей модификации Mk II имели пушечное вооружение, первая сотня таких машин получила крылья типа Mk IA с восемью пулеметами. Благодаря этому они успели принять участие в заключительной фазе Битвы за Британию.

БОМБЫ. Хотя внешняя боевая нагрузка существенно снижала скорость, под крыло Hurricane Mk IIВ подвешивали пару 113-кг или 227-кг бомб. Такие машины прозвали "Харрибомберы". Эти самолеты, эскортируемые Hawker Typhoon, осуществляли досаждающие немцам налеты через Ла-Манш, атакуя мосты и другие цели, хотя потери были высокими. На последующих серийных Hurricane бомбодержатели стали стандартным оборудованием.

Мировая Авиация 20

Hurricane Mk IIB. Вооружение Hurricane Mk IIB состояло из двенадцати 7,7-мм пулеметов Browning (как у проектировавшегося истребителя Typhoon). Эта модификация первой получила бомбодержатели (и неофициальное прозвище "Hurribomber"), что позволяло ей нести по одной 113-кг бомбе под каждой консолью крыла.

Этот самолет принадлежит 402-й эскадрилье Королевских канадских ВВС и выполняет учебный полет, готовясь к дневным боевым полетам через Ла-Манш в качестве истребителя-бомбардировщика в конце 1941 года. Hurricane Mk IIВ вооружен 12 пулеметами и двумя 114-кг авиабомбами.

Мировая Авиация 39

Mk IIB стал первой модификацией Hurricane, способной нести небольшие бомбы на подкрыльевых бомбодержателях. Эти самолеты имели небольшую поражающую способность, но, без сомнения, оказывали психологическое воздействие на противника.

ПУШКА HISPANO КАЛИБРА 20 ММ. Наиболее распространенный вариант Hurricane - Mk IIC был вооружен четырьмя пушками Hispano калибра 20 мм. Пушечное вооружение, установленное в крыле Mk I, прошло испытания в 46-й эскадрилье во время битвы за Британию, но пушки, оснащенные ленточной подачей боепитания, оказались ненадежными. Серийные Mk IIС, Sea Hurricane Mk IС и Mk IIС оснащались пушками с магазинным боепитанием и магазинами барабанного типа (первый такой самолет поступил в эксплуатацию в апреле 1941 года).

Hurricane Mk IIC. Модификация Mk IIC стала самой массовой в семействе истребителей Hurricane - до сентября 1944 года построили 4711 самолетов этого типа. Hurricane Mk IIC имел вооружение из четырех 20-мм пушек. Также он мог нести бомбы и неуправляемые ракеты.

Мировая Авиация 39

СБРАСЫВАЕМЫЕ ТОПЛИВНЫЕ БАКИ. На бомбодержатели Hurricane Mk IIC можно было подвесить вместо бомб дополнительные топливные баки емкостью по 200 л. На заокеанских театрах военных действий иногда использовались также 400-литровые баки.

Мировая Авиация 89

Несмотря на свою относительно невысокую скорость и неповоротливость, истребители Hurricane Mk IID с большим успехом использовались в Северной Африке. Эти самолеты могли нести пару 227-кг бомб или две 40-мм пушки Vickers.

Самолеты Hurricane первых модификаций вооружались пулеметами винтовочного калибра. Они были не эффективны для борьбы с бомбардировщиками Люфтваффе, имевшими протектированные бензобаки. В дальнейшем британские истребители стали вооружать пушками. Пушечный Hurricane Mk IIC успешно боролся и с наземными целями.

ДВУХПУШЕЧНАЯ УСТАНОВКА. Фирма "Hawker" в соответствии со спецификацией F.37/35 на пушечный перехватчик (контракт выиграл "Westland Whirlwind") предлагала Hurricane с пушками. К этой идее вернулись в 1938 году, когда Hurricane Mk I с металлическим крылом (бортовой номер L1750), оснастили двумя пушками Oerlikon калибра 20 мм в подкрыльевых контейнерах. Но у них была низкая скорострельность и точность. В конечном итоге пушки Oerlikon заменили на Hispano-Suiza.
The sole Hurricane I fitted with 20-mm Oerlikon cannon, one in each wing replacing the machine guns.

Выпустив 200 истребителей модификации Mk I, канадская фирма Canadian Car & Foundry Ltd (CCF) переключилась на выпуск самолетов моделей Mk X и Mk XI, оснащенных двигателями Packard Merlin. Почти все Hurricane Mk X были переданы англичанам, в то время как Mk XI поставлялись только канадским ВВС.

Учебный самолет для Персии. Фирма "Hawker" еще в 1940 году рассматривала возможность создания двухместного варианта Hurricane для замены учебных самолетов Harvard и Master. Битва за Британию помешала реализации этих планов, но о них вспомнили в 1947 году, когда Персия (ныне Иран) заказала два экземпляра такого самолета. Из-за сильного задувания в заднюю кабину вскоре их оснастили полностью закрытыми фонарями.

Hawker Hurricane Mk I N2479 of No 56 Sqn is inspected at North Weald in 1940. The unit saw action in both the Battle of France and the Battle of Britain, and was one of the few squadrons to remain in the south of the UK throughout the latter.

N2479 went on to serve with 213 Squadron and 6 Operational Training Unit before being converted to a Mk.IIA with the new serial number BV168 in 1941.

Does this photograph pre- or post-date Mr Heron’s view? [MAP] Taken on charge on June 3, 1938 by 56 Squadron at North Weald, L1592 went on to serve with 17, 87, 43, 17, 152 and possibly 43 Squadrons before joining 615 on July 23,1940. On August 18, 1940, L1592 flown by P/O D J Looker, was damaged in a flying battle, resulting in a crash-landing near Croydon - Looker being wounded. This was the end of the Mk I’s operational career it joined 9 Bombing & Gunnery School at Penrhos in August 1941, going on to serve with 5 (Pilots) Advanced Flying Unit at Ternhill from April 1942 and 9 (P)AFU at Errol from February 1943. It was retired to 52 Maintenance Unit (MU) at Cardiff on October 8, 1943 but was soon removed to 27 MU at Shawbury and earmarked for ‘museum purposes’. L1592 joined the Science Museum in 1954 (helping to date the scene), although there was certainly a Battle of Britain Week at Horse Guard’s Parade in September 1955.

One of the 12 Hurricane I fighters (1 to 12) delivered to ‘Escadrila’ 53 in 1940. Although the new Mihai Cross has been painted on the fuselage, the prewar roundel is still visible beneath the wing. At the outbreak of war, the under wingtips, a band round the rear fuselage and the entire nose forward of the wing were painted yellow to conform with ‘Axis’ recognition distinctions on the Eastern Front. Hurricanes served as the air defence for the port of Constanta, claiming 35 victories over Soviet bombers in 1941 for only one loss in combat, and continued to operate there until mid-1942. They also engaged in a rivalry with the Romanian Navy over engine spares, as there were also three Merlin-powered Vosper MTBs based at Constanta.

Канада. Первыми канадскими Hurricane стали 20 собранных в Британии истребителей версии Mk I, поставленных в конце 1938 года для обучения в Канаде пилотов британских ВВС. Затем на заводе "Canadian Car and Foundry Со." организовали постройку Hurricane для ВВС и ВМС Великобритании. Первый из 1451 собранного канадцами самолета (фото) поставили в 1940 году. Хотя большую их часть отправили за границу, канадские ВВС оставили несколько машин (включая ряд самолетов версии Mk X) для своей ПВО.

Финляндия получила 12 Hurricane Mk I в феврале 1940 года во время "зимней войны" с СССР. Эти самолеты не успели собрать и ввести в строй до подписания перемирия между воюющими сторонами. Однако после возобновления военных действий в 1941 году 11 самолетов немного повоевали, хотя из-за отсутствия запчастей они применялись ограниченно.

Трофейные самолеты. В ходе боев самолеты неизбежно попадали во вражеские руки с обеих сторон. Примерно в январе 1941 года на Ближний Восток попал истребитель в тропическом варианте Hurricane Mk I с кодом V7670 ВВС Англии. Его тут же захватили (и возможно облетали) наступающие немецкие войска. К концу года в ходе операции "Crusader" союзники вернули этот Hurricane и сфотографировали его (фото).

Не все самолеты Hurricane, участвовавшие в боевых действиях в первые месяцы войны, принадлежали Королевским ВВС. Этот бельгийский Mk I был одним из небольшой партии, поставленной в 1939 году и использовавшейся во время германского блицкрига. Многие были уничтожены самолетами Bf 109.

Aviation Historian 40 / M.Willis - The missing link?

The 15 British-built Hawker Hurricanes that were in active service with the Belgian Air Force in the spring of 1940, one of which is seen here, were fitted with four 0-303in guns per wing. The Belgian-built aircraft were fitted with two 13-2mm FN guns per wing. Only one of the Belgian-built examples was delivered before Belgium fell, however, and was allocated to the test centre at Evere, so it is unlikely it saw action.

В марте 1939 года Бельгия заказала 20 Hurricane Mk I, первые три из них были получены в следующем месяце. Тем временем фирма "Avions Fairey" получила лицензию на постройку еще 80 самолетов, оснащенных четырьмя пулеметами калибра 12,7-мм вместо стандартных восьми пулеметов калибра 7,7-мм. Однако из-за задержек с поставками комплектующих в мае 1940 года успели построить лишь 20 самолетов, вооруженных восемью пулеметами.

Obsoletely fabulous - Hurricane IIC “646"/MP-G taxies out for another sortie from Sintra, where the MP operational training unit was based from late 1944. Although the Hurricane was completely obsolescent by 1947, it made economic sense for Portugal to acquire more examples of a type that had proved robust, suited to the climate and comparatively cheap and easy to maintain.

Персия (ныне Иран). Персия заказала 18 истребителей Hurricane Mk I в 1939 году, но из-за задержек с разработкой тропических воздушных фильтров до начала войны поставили только один самолет, а еще один - в 1940 году. Ни один из них не был оснащен фильтром, поэтому поставка остальных заказанных машин была отложена до окончания войны. Однако во время войны англичане все же передали Персии еще 10 самолетов. В 1946-1947 годы к ним добавились 16 Mk IIC (фото) и два двухместных учебных самолета.

A regular sight at 1950s British airshows was Hawker’s fleet of Sydney Camm-designed aircraft, which comprised, from nearest to furthest, Hart G-ABMR (currently on display at RAF Museum Hendon), Tomtit G-AFTA (still airworthy with the Shuttleworth Collection), Cygnet G-EBMB (now at RAF Museum Cosford) and G-AMAU.

Following the completion of Angels One Five, G-AMAU was painted in a new blue-and-gold scheme, with three gold bars extending to the rudder tip. Also, the name, The Last of The Many, was painted on the port side of the fuselage without a gold bar either side of the lettering, as there had been previously.

This photograph, taken at Hatfield on June 23, 1951, during the (ultimately cancelled) National Air Races, clearly shows G-AMAU in the revised blue scheme, and there is evidence that it may have been painted in camouflage in early June, before being painted in the new scheme for this event, then repainted in camouflage to complete filming for Angels One Five - before being put back into the “new” scheme again!

The pilot wrapped up tight against the cold, G-AMAU taxies past at RAF Stradishall in Suffolk in September 1959. At around this time the idea of putting The Last of The Many back into camouflage was mooted and approved by Hawker, making this one of the last photographs of it in its blue-and-gold scheme.

A formation flypast by Hawker’s Tomtit, Hart and Hurricane was a regular sight at British displays of the early 1950s, the Hawker test pilots frequently winning best-formation accolades and trophies. The speed ranges of the aircraft were quite different and a generous helping of flap was necessary to keep the Hurricane in tight formation. This flyby was captured at White Waltham on August 31, 1952.

G-AMAU at one of the many shows it visited during the 1950s. Although the Hurricane’s civil scheme suited the type’s elegant curves, a number of commentators in the press felt that it would be more appropriate to put the machine back into its original camouflage scheme. It was a wish that would ultimately come true.

Советский Союз. По некоторым данным Англия и Канада поставили в СССР начиная с 1941 года 2952 Hurricane, включая 1557 Mk IIB (на снимке) и 1009 Mk IIC. В основном это были новые самолеты, отправленные из Англии. Лишь несколько сотен из них были получены в английских ремонтных частях на Ближнем Востоке и перевезены по железной дороге через Персию в СССР.

Весной 1942 года началось перевооружение "харрикейнов", поступавших в СССР по ленд-лизу. На фото изображен истребитель с усиленным комплектом вооружения: две пушки ШВАК и два пулемета УБК. Такой набор стал стандартным для полярных "харрикейнов" во второй половине 1942 года. Судя по всему, на этой модификации Mk.IIB внешние пары пулеметов "Браунинг FN" винтовочного калибра сохранены. Замечу, что в начале марта 1942г., когда были запланированы удары силами истребительной авиации по немецким авиабазам, "Харрикейны" были оснащены только английскими пулеметами винтовочного калибра.
