Re: Hurricane specifications R4223
Rxxxx serials will have had the metal wing.
I asume you are talking about a 1940, probably BoB, machine?
From your description, the final propellor spinner is the bullet-shaped Rotol normally seen on the Mk.II, so that can be ruled out. The normal Hurricane Mk.I standard was the earlier hemispherical Rotol in 1940, but earlier ones did have the more conical DeHavilland. I can't confirm that Rotol production matched Hurricane production at this stage.
So unless you can find pictures of the machine, or adjacent examples, I'd go with the early Rotol. There is a picture of two 501 Sq Hurricanes, Pxxxx serialed, with the Rotol.
