Hello James,
The Gipsy Moth was another Brit biplane and there are loads of others -
Mosquito, Blenheim, Lancaster, Halifax, etc. According to my books, although
the Spitfire was the more famous aircraft, it was the Hurricane that kept
the Luftwaffe most occupied in WWII.
BTW, when I had a TR7, I used to call it 'Airwolf' ... ever seen the dash in
a TR7?
Cheers,
David Hill
