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.

Any guesses what it is, and what it was used for?

We’ll reveal all tomorrow.

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?
