      Fact of the Day: The Hurricane fighter jet originally had its wings clipped to stop it flying at weekends, but it's mighty 1.6ltr turbo diesel engine produced so much power it was still able to fly and was almost 2.3mph faster due to the reduction in weight. #AvGeekpic.twitter.com/W2KahidFdg

      This was not the prettiest Hurricane, I'll admit. But it was invaluable during the Battle Of Trafalgar.

      Hi Crazy Cat, We hate to correct you but it was the Battle of Waterloo.

          The clipped wings allowed low level flights between Trafalgar and Waterloo taking advantage of the time slip mechanism developed at LARPA.

          Low enough to travel via the Bakerloo Line tunnels? That's impressive engineering.

          Hang on didn't one of them distract King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 just long enough for a Norman archer to shoot him in the eye?

          Yes, it's seen in the tapestry towing a drogue chute, which compensated for the great power of the engine, and by slowing it down allowed enough time for the military cross-stitch experts to complete the image.

          Okay, but what about the Handley-Page 0/400s used by “Butcher” Cumberland at Culodden? People keep forgetting the bombing raids on Inverness.

          You’re both wrong,it was that one where Kenneth Branagh beat the French. Or was that Laurence Olivier? Wait that was Trafalgar, right? I’m confused.

          Too true, at Trafalgar it was the Seahurcane version for the fleet air arm.
