West artwork and 24-carat gold-plated crown coins, limited to just 399 editions and individually numbered, exclusive to The Bradford Exchange – 2020 marks the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, and the 85th anniversary of the iconic Hawker Hurricane – one of the most important British fighter aircrafts of the Second World War. This British single-seat fighter aircraft, manufactured by Hawker Aircraft, Ltd. in the 1930s and ’40s, proved itself throughout the critical early stages of the global conflict, sharing victory laurels with the Supermarine Spitfire in the Battle of Britain (1940–41) and the defence of Malta (1941–42). Hurricanes served in all theatres of war where British forces were engaged.... This renowned aircraft and the courageous men who manned them were commended by Sir Winston Churchill, who described the crews as ‘The Few’ in his speech: “Never in the field of human conflict have so many owed so much to so few”...

In tribute, the UK-made ‘In Defence Of The Realm’ Hawker Hurricane 85th Anniversary Print is exclusive to The Bradford Exchange and limited to just 399 editions worldwide – each individually numbered.

Meticulously handcrafted by master artisans, this richly detailed print showcases striking artwork by skilled artist Philip E. West – recognised as one of the world’s finest aviation artists. This vibrant imagery depicts Hurricanes engaged in a sky fight defending the realm. The battle of Britain was unique as it was fought over the British mainland, and prevented the German Forces from landing. Britain stood against the force of the German Reich. Framed by a mahogany-toned hardwood, the print features two 24-carat gold-plated crown coins – one adorned with a Hawker Hurricane over The White Cliffs of Dover, and the other with imagery of a ‘Victory’ Flypast. Below the coins is an excerpt of Winston Churchill’s speech. That’s not all – additional tributes include further art. One piece is entitled: ‘The Guardian’ and features a Hawker Hurricane over the White Cliffs of Dover. Another presents a dawn glow, capturing the moment that Hawker Hurricanes take off.
