GA nomination
This article is not ready for GAN, it has quite a number of incited paragraphs. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 11:55, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not ready for GA review because it is a poor article. For instance no mention is made in the development section about the fgact that the tailplane was originally strut-braced ar that the tailwheel originally was retractable or that (like the Spitfire) the prototype's undercart doors had a hinged section to cover the lower half of the wheel. Certainly these are minor details but given the general level of wittering on about tangential issues I think something about the snecking aircraft itself is important. Another missing fact is the slight increase of length of the MkII- seven inches (178mm). From memory, the length given in the specs differs from that given in Hawker aircraft since whenever. I'd look all this up & do the edits but I do not edit from home and so doing do would involve a pannier bag of books; doable but needs forward planning. Wile I'm at it Flight Testing at Martlesham Heath has a good rather than sketchy explanation of the spin recovery problem- from memory the problem was that stick position in spin recovery was critical because of a danger of the aircraft entering a second spin upon recovery. I will be back.TheLongTone (talk) 15:58, 11 November 2021 (UTC)


 * And isnt the "Aircraft of a similar... section generally depreciated> In ths case I'd say that the Polikapov (not enough armamant) and the LA-80 (too late) are not really comparable193.35.234.68 (talk) 16:20, 11 November 2021 (UTC)


 * The length is a mystery. I don't have much on the hurricane, (Francis Mason's 'Hawker Aircraft since....  and his The British Fighter since & a JWR Taylor edited Combat Aircradft of the World Fail to entirly agree with eachother. What a mess.TheLongTone (talk) 15:19, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

...and the structure is poor. The whole article needs going through.TheLongTone (talk) 16:09, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
