Royal Air Force 2000

Hawker Hart

❝

Introduced in Jan 1930 to No33 Sqn at RAF Eastchurch the Hart was the latest RAF fighter-bomber to enter service, with a maximum speed of 184 mph it was considerably faster than best fighters then available , hence the rapid introduction of the Fury as the Hart was faster than any other RAF fighter.

Over 1000 Harts were produced and removal from service started in 1938, however the start of WWll meant several were deployed in the Middle East.
