| It COULD hold it's own in a dogfight if need be, but it technically wasn't a fighter, so it's not up there

Country: | Yep
A bit of History for ya 
At the end of 1941 an R.A.F Squadron went to Russia to help the Crew's over there learn about the Hurri. And to cut a long story, not ONE single Russian Aircraft were lost to enemy action when the R.A.F were escorting them
And only ONE Hurricane was lost - In a Training Accident
Cool, a

Country: | If your refering to the Training that 617 Sqaudron had for the Dambusters raid, they never lost one, M8. But one Lancaster had to turn back on the Raid it's self because it was flying so low the sea ripped the Bomb of the Plane

Can you imagine how pissed they must have been?
"Well, how did the raid go?"
"It didn't."
"What?"
"The bomb fell off"
