Airspeed is on a distinguished road
Re: Hawker Hurricane cockpit canopy

Well, that link shows what I saw before - black picture frames.
I guess it's to do with my location?

Correct IMHO, Rolland, undo the locking knob, slide device forward to disengage from the three pegs, the panel then simply pushes out and falls.
There are small overhangs inside left & right, and one external outside along the bottom. Fairly typical British design, multiple parts and half a box of rivets.

This is obviously why there are no external pics of the panel partly open, as is often seen on other aircraft.
I only hope that I can do it all justice in my replica.
