Hawker Restorations were supposed to be restoring one of their airframes as a two seater, not heard anything about it recently.

One sold to Iran after the war with Tempest canopy over rear seat, and apparently the Russians 'modded' a few, not to mention changing the guns.

The Mk IIc had all the guns one could want.




Unless you were flying a Mosquito of course...

I think the story about HRL's projected two seater was that several RAF Hurricane's were modified "in the field" - I'm sure there was an article in Flypast or one of the other magazines, does anyone recall it?

Edit: 'Twas the Americans who converted a couple, and a Canadian outfit who are/were building up a two seater.
