FlyPast  |   November 2018
The November issue of FlyPast features the Hawker Hurricane on its cover. The machine is one of four warbirds operated until recently by Hangar 11 Collection boss Peter Teichman from his North Weald base. Peter has recently announced he’s retiring from display flying. Darren Harbar visits North Weald to look back on Peter’s stellar career. He also reports on the thrilling ‘Soviet’ Spitfire restoration that Peter will next be turning his hand to!

Andrew Thomas reveals the history of the RAAF’s 79 Squadron, and Chris Goss tells the story of the Luftwaffe’s brief air-launched flying bomb campaign against Britain.
