Hawker Hurricane original test data

Posted by KLord on Wed Jul 10, 2002 06:19:23 PM

Good evening,
I have been searching for many months for detailed specifications on the Hurricane Mk I fighter aircraft, alas to no avail.

What I am seeking is copies of original performance trials of the MkI fitted with the RR Merlin III engine, detailing climb rates and speeds at various altitudes.

If you have any such documents? Or maybe able to point me too someone that may I would really appreciate your time and effort in helping with my search.

One last question the air speed gauge fitted in these aircraft did they display TAS or IAS ?

Yours Hopefully
Kevin Lord
