Hawker Hurricanes | Formation Takeoff | Battle of Britain Airshow 2025 Fine Art Print | IWM Duxford

Side by side, wheels barely clear of the ground — just as they did in 1940.

Two Hawker Hurricanes lift off together from the runway at IWM Duxford, just thirty feet above the ground, wings level and engines roaring. The Hurricane bore the brunt of the Battle of Britain — accounting for more enemy aircraft destroyed than all other defences combined. This image captures that spirit perfectly: two survivors of history, airborne together, keeping the memory alive.
