Country: | Nope the Brits used the Bolton-Paul Defiant as a NF and some marques of the Hurri. Still prefer the JU88 / He 219 / DO 335.

| The Hurricane was never equipped with radar. I think to qualify as a night fighter a plane should have some means of locating a target at night other than the pilot's eyes. The Hurricane was a virtually stock dayfighter simply being flown at night.
