	General Aircraft Hotspur (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The eight- seat Hotspur was inspired by the successful use of the DFS 230 by the Germans in May 1940.
		The gliding performance of the Hotspur was not entirely satisfactory, and toghether with the development of larger gliders this prevented the type from entering combat service.
		With a shortened wingspan, the Hotspur became the standard glider trainer.

	Hawker Hotspur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One prototype aircraft, K8309, was built in 1937, but completion was delayed until 1938, by which time the rival Boulton Paul Defiant had already flown.

		The generals in the highest commands not only had to yield precedence to the prefects of the provinces (like our governors of states), but were subject to removal if the prefects did not like their politics and the Minister of War wished the support of the prefects.
		General Foch is a prophet whom his God transports." The young officer who wrote thus to his parents was Captain André Dubarle; and he later laid down his life for his country on the field of honor commanded by General Foch.
		General Foch installed himself at the Invalides, and addressed himself to the study of all the allies' fronts, the assembling American army, and to another task for which he was signally fitted: that of coordinating the plans and purposes of the Generalissimo and the government.

		It was considered a very safe aircraft and could take a lot of punishment; it could even fly with the loss of one engine, probably a regular occurrence when conducting airdrops at slow speed.
		On the down side the gliders were prone to being unstable in the air often resulting in air sick troops and the stress on the glider during a tow in bad winds had a tendency to sometimes part the tow cable.
		Troops entered the aircraft by a door in the left side of the aircraft; cargo was put on board through the rear hinged fuselage door.

		This viewpoint was encouraged by the planned withdrawal as part of a general reduction of the Royal Navy in 1981 of the last of the Antarctic Supply vessels, the icebreaker HMS Endurance, and by the British Nationality Act of 1981, which replaced the full British citizenship of Falkland Islanders with a more limited version.
		The aircraft had taken off from the deck of HMS Invincible, and although attached BBC reporter Brian Hanrahan was forbidden to divulge the number of planes involved, he came up with the memorable phrase "I counted them all out and I counted them all back".
		The two destroyers supporting General Belgrano and the task force built around the aircraft carrier ARA Veinticinco de Mayo both withdrew from the area, ending the direct threat to the British fleet that their pincer movement had represented.

	The Hawker Hurricane
		The Hurricane Mark IV was the first rocket-armed aircraft to be used in action by the Western Allies, and the rocket armament gave it a tremendous punch, being generally more effective than the light bombs carried by earlier Hurribombers.
		It appears that CAM ship Hurricat launches were generally done only as a last resort, not only because of the risk to the pilot but because the bright flare of the rocket catapult attracted unwanted attention.
		Although the Hotspur's performance was better than that of the Defiant, and in fact was not that much inferior to that of the Hurricane, with a top speed of well over 480 KPH (300 MPH), by this time Hurricane production was an absolute priority.

		In early aircraft, the wing was on top of the fuselage, later it was raised to give a better view to the pilot.
		The Buccaneer is a mid-wing aircraft; its appearance is determined by an area-ruled fuselage, circular engine bays flanking the fuselage, a bulged rotating bomb bay door, and a T-tail.
		It still was an ugly and unpractical aircraft, a triplane with two nacelles attached to the center wing, in which gunners were to be seated.

		General Barr, head of our military advisory group wrote that in the late forties no battle was lost by the Chinats for lack of equipment - rather because of the world's worst leadership.
		The general estimate, I think in terms of military capability, was that they had the ability to defend themselves against simultaneous attacks from all sides.

		As the canopy had also proven hard to open at high speeds, making escape from the aircraft in an emergency troublesome, the design was also tweaked to eliminate this problem, though it would take an iteration or two to get it right.

		The Hurricane Mark IV was the first rocket-armed aircraft to be used in action by the Western Allies, and the rocket armament gave it a tremendous punch, being far more effective than the light bombs carried by earlier Hurribombers.

		Lower air brake to slow the aircraft down,not adviseable to take off with it hanging down as one pilot did,by the way the R.A.F nickname for the Tucano is the 'Meccano' due to its rather complex construction and lack of servicing hatches,not popular with fitters.
		Later on we built a scissors lifter (using a screwed rod and a starter motor) and used an aircraft tug to move them which was slightly less stressful.
		The idea was to build a troop carrying glider using components of the Hotspur training glider, it carried 15 troops, they only built one, towed it with a Whitley and it crashed..
