Hurricane was his first noteable design! ;)

Sydney Camm honoured with life-sized Hurricane plane

A Berkshire man who designed the Hawker Hurricane - the plane which helped win the Battle of Britain - is to be honoured with a memorial in his home town.
"All modern aircraft have 4 dimensions: span, length, height and politics.
TSR-2 simply got the first 3 right. ”
