I knew nothing when I started here so I can't do anything but go up.

Yup, its a Hurricane. In this instance she belongs to Peter Vacher and she is plane and simple immaculate !!. The pic was taken last weekend at his hangar while doing some filming work with Tony

Here you go

 

[Capt. Vick]

Horton 9 or Horton 229 or Gotha 229?

 

[T Bolt]

That didn't last long

 

[GrauGeist]

wow...well done!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

So............which one is it?

 

[GrauGeist]

They are all the same one, Aaron.

In a nutshell, Horton's 9th design (IX) was designated the Ho229 by the RLM and then got Gotha involved for production, Go229.

 

[vikingBerserker]
