The Hurricane was a monoplane version of the Fury biplane. The tail section is the same. The Spitfire was similar to the Trad Morgan in that it was produced for a long period, had a variety of engines and body shapes, but was immediately recognisable as a Spitfire.  Sorry to be a bit of a "spotter" but I think you will find that is a Hawker Nimrod, not a Fury. It's got a big hook under it for carrier landings.

That's OK Planenut, after all, you are a planenut. I blame Google images. It was the nicest image of the 'Fury'.......

Exhaust + manifold looks safer than M3W

One of the prettiest jet trainers ever - it's a Magister I think. :xmascheers:
Back in the 1960's I saw the French Air Force Aerobatic team demonstrate them to good effect at an open day at RAF Coltishall.

 More like a Boulton and Paul Defiant Nightfighter this one from a French Morgan friend. It would have to be black of course - if I'm allowed to say that now....
