Another Stupid Question

|
| So what did they do with it then? Just scrap it? Why the hell build it
| in the first place?
|
| I'm confused. Help me out.

Sure I can help you out - which way did you come in ?




But seriously .... I'm not aware of a twin fuselage Hurricane; if anything
a twin Spitfire would have had more development potential.
Hastening to point out that I'm _not_ the ultimate oracle for all things
Hurricane (ignore what my wife says)



I've seen pics of an experimental biplane Hurricane, that discards the top
wing shortly after take off - is that what he's referring to ?


Otherwise, perhaps you could check in your pocket for a warm, yellow
liquid. ;-)
