    Following the Battle of Britain, the Hurricane's days as a front-line fighter came to a close, but it continued to serve proudly as a night-fighter, reconnaissance platform and ground-attack plane in a number of different variations for the rest of the war. It was in this latter role, that a number of unique and effective modifications were seen.    Perhaps the most impressive of these was the mounting of 40mm machine cannons to turn the plane into a «tank-buster,» similar to the GermanJu87G. This was
