A WW2 Hawker Hurricane in Alexandra Gardens, Windsor

The Hawker Hurricane played a significant role in the Battle of Britain in 1940. It was designed by Sir Sydney Camm who came from Windsor. Hence this Hawker Hurricane memorial to him in Alexandra Gardens in Windsor.

This is the 2nd prototype of the XP-82 Twin Mustang heavy escort fighter, circa mid-to-late-1945. It is, perhaps, my favorite WW2 era fighter.

It was, essentially, two P-51s welded together. It was conceived as an ultra-long range escort fighter, hence why it retained two cockpits, with full controls in each. The idea was that one pilot could rest for part of the mission, and hand off control to the other when he needed a break, alternating as needed. The XP-82 had a range of 1,400 miles (2,300 kilometers), a service ceiling of 40,000 feet (12,000 meters), and a top speed of 461 miles per hour.

It's fitted here with its standard six M3 .50cal machine guns (with 400 rounds per gun, firing at 1200 rpm). Additionally, it is equipped with two 500 pound bombs, ten 5" High Velocity Aircraft Rockets, and an experimental centerline gun-pod containing an additional eight M3 Browning .50cal machine guns (each, as before, with 400 rounds, firing at 1200 rpm). This brings the total cyclic rounds-per-minute of the aircraft to 16,800 rpm combined.

The gun pod would not be retained past the prototypes, as the majority of production was fitted out or converted to night fighter spec with a radar mounted under the center wing (often nicknamed "Long Dong" due to the characteristic shape of the radar fairing). The second cockpit was refitted into a radar operator's station without flight controls.

The non-night fighter versions used the space for two more hardpoints, allowing for up to four 1000 pound bombs or up to twenty-five 5" HVAR rockets.

The P-82 (later changed to F-82) would go on to serve in Korea, but would be very quickly replaced with jet fighters, and were retired in 1953.

The Fairey Swordfish. Affectionately called the "Stringbag" by pilots was the last operational biplane in history. A carrier launched torpedo plane, the Swordfish carried out a few very important operations, including the attack on the Italian Mediterranean fleet and in crippling the mighty Bismarck's rudder, allowing HMS King George V to finish her for good. Finally avenging the HMS Hood's terrible loss.

Lt (JG) Alexander 'Alex' Vraicu pictured with his mounts during (upper, 'White 19'), and after (lower '32') the 'Great Marianas Turkey Shoot' in 1944. Vraicu was Butch O'Hare's wingman early on and served on CVL-22 USS Independence, CV-9 USS Essex, CV-11 USS Intrepid, and CV-16 USS Lexington. His 'Turkey Shoot' day came while flying from CV-16, downing 6 in 8 minutes. He finished the war as the 4th ranked Navy ace with aerial 19 kills.
