Re: Long-Range Hurricane II (internal tanks)

To the best of my knowledge, this isn't described in any other Hurricane book (and I have a lot of them, for what that's worth). It's not clear where such a tank could be placed, as the Hurricane did not have the spare c.g. range/stability for carrying such a tank behind the pilot. It was so limited that Sea Hurricanes, with an arrester hook and catapult spools, had to use the heavier metal DH propeller rather than the wooden Rotol one.

Does he give any other information?
