From the station in Egypt, Hurricanes weren’t in much danger of being shot at, and problems tended to come down to pilot error – but if something went wrong, it could still be deadly. Fuel reserves were located right behind the instrument panel, so if a fire started, it would eat right through the panel and immediately put the pilot in danger before they could escape.
With resources from the British government in short supply – especially in Egypt – a single missing part could mean that an aircraft would be junked entirely. Rather than do that, Douglas Grant reworked a propeller from another another aircraft and spliced it into the existing, broken propeller.
You can hear these stories and many more in the video below.
