Both aircraft were from the same company, and the Hurricane was the one
that carried the legend "Last Of The Many" on it fuselage.

Here's a picture of it in its current regalia.

On the day I took this picture it had just made an emergency landing as
the hydraulic landing system fuel line had broken, spraying the pilot
with the fluid.

The RAF ground crew pulled all the stops out to get it flying again for
its scheduled display.

Well, not quite, as there's a good fifty years between the two
photographs, although it's the same Hawker Hurricane in both.
