I'm working my way through the Putnam "Armament of British Aircraft 1909-1939" - somewhat belatedly I admit - and have come across a number of interesting snippets, but this is the best so far. The Hawker Demon has the rear fuselage reduced in height compared with the Hart. "The more slender fuselage which resulted was one of several features which distinguish the Demon from other Hart variants." I hadn't noticed that before - has anyone else?
The author, who "flew in Demons at every opportunity" goes on to say that the top of the fuselage of the Hector "displayed a much larger flat surface of fuselage" than even the Demon.
The Hind (and hence the Australian Demon) had the same rear fuselage as the Hart, despite the change in the gun position.
Comments? John?
