As we continue to reflect following Battle of Britain Day, we remember the people behind the aircraft.

Flt Lt Ian “Widge” Gleed flew a Hurricane with No. 87 Squadron, its cockpit door painted with Figaro—a symbol of character and defiance.

Can You Identify This First World War Aircraft?

I filmed this aircraft at the RAF Museum in Hendon. I initially thought it was a Vickers F.B.5 Gunbus, but now I’m not so sure. Can anyone identify it?
