Hurricane that Saved London
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, May 16, 2005 5:37 PM
Did any see the program on the History Channel about the Hurricane that clipped the back of a Donier during the Battle of Britain to keep it from heading into Buckingham Palace?

I saw it as well, a good show. I wonder if there is anyway to find out what has happened to the engine since the show was taped?

Hey all, I know this is a month or three after your posts, but I heard on Paul Harvey today at noon that the pilot that took out the bomber died today, I believe he was 90.

Saw the program and found it to be very interesting. A sad note however, I read in the paper last week that the pilot of the Hurricane past away. It was nice for him to be able to see the parts that were salvaged from his aircraft, before he passed away.
