Very neat looking conversion. You could almost see a canopy over each cavity which would look really streamlined, hope Hawkrr Restorations 2 seat conversion looks as good

If you squint your eyes a bit, it kind of resembles a Russian Sturmovik.

New to me as well- thanks for posting.

May have been a bit chilly in the Russian winter....

Is that a legit photo? Looks a bit like it was photoshopped.

If real, this might have surprised a few Germans in early use.

The story is that the Boulton Paul Defiant had a good day.

Fairly sure it's legit. I think there were a few different "field mods" done to create two-seat Hurricanes by the VVS.


As opposed to...?

This is a good article discussing the Hurricanes in Soviet service as well as some of the modifications they made. The pictured aircraft was apparently an artillery spotter? Russians also made some 2-seat trainers, apparently with varying degrees of success. Interesting stuff.
