If he'd been in world war one or two he'd have done his bit. No question. It's time we called him Sir Guy Martin. Give the Sir to someone who deserves it.

    Beautiful video and plane. The Hurricane is my favorite WW2 fighter and has been for a long time. I'm surprised that two seater versions exist and that they don't look (to my eye) very different than the single seat version. I love the "don't dive faster than 350 mph" warning. All of the sudden those fast motorcycles don't seem quite so fast. Belated congrats on your successful flight, Guy.

      This Hurricane was a modern made two-seater, done so the public could get rides. Years ago, my father got a ride in a two-seater Mustang, which was originally a regular one place fighter. Apparently, the WWII radios were so big, that when they and the pilots seat armor are removed from most of that era's planes, there's enough room to squeeze in a second person.

    The Hurricane won the Battle of Britain. Faster to re-arm, re-fuel, and replenish O2 than a Spit. Easier and faster to fix than a Spit. Stable reliable gun platform. More maneuverable than it is given credit for. If every RAF Squadron and Wing were Spitfires in 1940, they would have lost the Battle of Britain. Sir Sydney Camm was a genius.
