Hawker Hurricane F.35/34 Prototype K5083 – Livery v1.0

Hawker Hurricane F.35/34 Prototype K5083 – Livery v1.0

Hawker F.35/34 Prototype K5083 – Livery (for Fsadni’s Hawker Hurricane)

This livery commemorates the first flight of the Hawker monoplane F.35/34 prototype which was later to become the Hurricane. This plane with the registry K5083 flew for the first time from Brooklands Aerodrome in Surrey on November 6th 1935. The pilot was Flight Lieutenant Paul Ward Spencer (“George”) Bulman. Like the later production Hurricanes, the prototype was already equipped with an early supercharged Rolls-Royce V12 Merlin C engine with 1029 hp.

Contrary to public opinion it was the Hurricane (and not the Spitfire) that bore the brunt of the Battle of Britain and achieved 55% of all aerial victories – more than all other RAF aircraft combined. While the Hurricane was slower than both the Bf109E or the Spitfire, it could outturn both of them.

Of course the real prototype was slightly different to later production Hurricane. So this is only a visual representation of the paint scheme. No changes have been made to the flight model etc.
