\"\"<\/a>Although it fought in the Battle of Britain in 1940, its greatest merit was quiet, everyday service.<\/strong> Hurricane Mk I serial P3090<\/strong>, later operated by the Fleet Air Arm, is an example of an aircraft that, after frontline service, moved to the Navy where it became a reliable \u201cworkhorse\u201d of the Fleet Air Arm.<\/p>\n

The Hawker Hurricane with serial number P3090<\/strong> began its service in 1940 as a classic RAF fighter, built at the Gloster Aircraft Company<\/strong>. It was fitted with a Rotol propeller with a Spitfire spinner<\/strong>, a configuration typical, among others, for this production series.
\nOver two and a half years, it went from a frontline RAF unit to training Fleet Air Arm pilots.<\/p>\n

From production to the front<\/h2>\n

The P3090 was delivered on 15 June 1940<\/strong> to 19 Maintenance Unit (MU)<\/strong>, and as early as 24 June<\/strong> it was assigned to 242 Squadron RAF<\/strong>, one of the units fighting in the Battle of Britain.<\/p>\n

After several months of intensive use, it was transferred to 43 Group Delivery Aircraft<\/strong> (15 September 1940), and then to Austins<\/strong> (21 September) \u2014 most likely for inspection or repair. By the end of October it was with 46 Maintenance Unit (MU)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
