Build a hero of the Battle of Britain
The Hawker Hurricane was one of Britain's most important fighter aircraft during the Second World War, playing a crucial role in defending Britain's skies during the Battle of Britain in 1940.
Although often overshadowed by the famous Supermarine Spitfire, the Hurricane was responsible for a significant proportion of enemy aircraft destroyed by RAF Fighter Command during the battle.
Renowned for its reliability, manoeuvrability and robust construction, the Hurricane became an enduring symbol of British aviation engineering.
A special connection to Bristol's aviation heritage
The Hawker Hurricane also has an important connection to Aerospace Bristol's local history.
During the Second World War, Hurricanes operated by No. 501 Squadron helped defend Filton Airfield, an important centre of British aircraft manufacturing.
This connection makes the COBI Hawker Hurricane particularly meaningful as a souvenir from Aerospace Bristol, celebrating the aircraft and the people who helped protect Britain's aviation industry.
