Re: Long-Range Hurricane II (internal tanks)

Bringing this back up. This article talks about an internal 28 gallon tank situated in the front of the plane.

Also, No. 274 Sqdn notes it flew a mix of long-range and normal Hurricanes (as well as one 'cannon' Hurricane) in June and July 1941.


Any thoughts?


All the best


Andreas

Re: Long-Range Hurricane II (internal tanks)

This is the standard Hurricane reserve fuel tank. I think it is mentioned earlier in the thread, but I just took a quick look on Wikipedia.
