There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hawker Hector.zip - Hawker Hector.zip

Biplane used by RAF prewar in Army Co-operation units - being passed to RAuxAF squadrons when war broke out.This a/c was briefly in the spotlight when flying sorties against German force surrounding Calais in May 1940. Although obsolete for front - and even second line service the Hector performed sterling service as a glider tug in the training of glider pilots for the emerging airborne forces.

Finally retired in late 1942; some were sold to the Irish Air Corps.
