Description: This beautiful and rugged aircraft is a Hawker Sea Hurricane possessing modifications making it suitable for maritime operations. I captured the moment an exhausted pilot rests on the wing and a concerned ground crew member offers the pilot a much needed sandwich and cup of tea. The plane has taken a few hits but true to its nature it's brought the pilot home safely. The real thing can be seen at the Shuttleworth Collection, UK.
