Sea Hurricane Mk IC in formation, but I don't see any arrester hooks, as the hooks
should be forward of the tail wheel, but
than again maybe they haven't been installed
but than again, I've been wrong before.

In 1941, 400 Hurricanes were converted with
catapult spools and arrester hooks, for the
Fleet Air Arm.
