Hurricane v Spitfire ground handling.

I was surprised at the comments on the Shuttleworth Hurricane, but then of course one has to remember this is a Sea Hurricane with a mighty V Frame Hook at the end of the fuselage that no doubt alters the C o G on this particular one.
No other Hurricane flight test/ Handling notes seems to have concerns with a Hurricane in this respect, and in fact i remember Viv Bellamy who flew both types during and after the war describing the Hurricane as a fighter a club pilot could fly with a proper check out.
