HAWKER HURRICANE (NO 302 SQN. RAF) set - In tribute to Polish heroes: from Duxford to Dęblin! Do you want to commemorate the heroism of Polish pilots and create a souvenir from an important event? Build a model of the legendary HAWKER HURRICANE aircraft - a machine that fought for freedom under the skies of England! On the occasion of the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and the 100th anniversary of the Air Force Academy in Dęblin, in August 2025 there will be a unique flight of a Hurricane aircraft from Duxford (Great Britain) to Dęblin. The event is organized by The Polish Heritage Flight and the Polish Airmen Remembrance Committee. The aircraft will have the markings of the 302nd "City of Poznań" Squadron, which was stationed at RAF Duxford in September 1940. The aircraft that will visit Polish skies was built in 1942 at the Canadian Car Foundry and initially went to the 123rd Canadian Squadron. It survived the war and in 1985 was restored so perfectly that it made its next flight four years later. The sight and sound of the Hawker Hurricane over the Polish skies will be a symbol of gratitude to the Poles who fought over England during World War II. COBI supports this event by presenting a model of the HAWKER HURRICANE (NO 302 SQN. RAF), which will take part in this historic flight! Hawker Hurricane - the aircraft of Polish aces! Since September 1940, Polish pilots from the 302 "Poznański" Squadron fought the German Luftwaffe in planes such as the Hawker Hurricane.
