Hawker Hurricane Database

Thanks for sharing this. This has been a pet project of mine for decades, but made more possible by the recent Database updates on the RAFCommands site.

A project like this is beyond the capabilities of a single individual, but multiple contributions can make it quite enriching. If the aircraft is close to your heart, please reach out to me - and I will set up access to updating the data.

There is a google sheet with all the 14,000 plus records that captures the highlights of the individual airframes - Serial, engine number, TOC, SOC, date of write off, cause of write off, a free text field to capture a potted history of the airframe, and the geographical theatre the aircraft was dispatched to. If anyone wants access to it, please email me - you can help in writting potted histories, cleaning up errors in existing entires etc.

There is a second 'events' log that requires contributions as well.

Recently Mariusz Łożyński contributed data for airframes in the "N" serial range and that helped update the history of the N series aircraft.
An example record - www.rafcommands.com/database/hurricanes/details.php?uniq=N2330 (refer to the events section midway)

Also the number of "Engine Numbers" this helped me populate

I am personally building a log of all Hurricane movements in India - this will take decades to get in the DB format - but it will happen in due course.  An example is a unit wise list for No.3 Squadron RIAF

Lastly, I invite members to email images that you may hold in your collection that has the serial visible. As you can see this is one place where 263 Hurricane images are available against the 14000+ produced.. thats just around 2%..
