Historical background of the Hurricane MK II TORP model

The Hawker Hurricane is a symbol of the resilience of British aviation during World War II, widely used by the Royal Air Force between 1939 and 1945. The MK II TORP version is a unique modification adapted to carry a torpedo, designed specifically for maritime operations. These aircraft took part in patrols over the English Channel and battles over the North Sea, protecting Allied convoys from enemy sea and air attacks. This variant is a true rarity among machines used in the final period of World War II.
