Both were formidable RAF fighters in WW II. The Hurry was built largely of wood with a fabric covering, while the Spit was built from metal with a high-strength aluminum covering. The Spit, or at least the later ones, had a higher-visibility canopy.

Can I braze light galvanised steel to steel wire using a 'spitfire' propane torch of the kind with the long mixing nozzle?
You may be able to do this but it is not easy. The joining of the steel wire to the galanised part may not be sufficiently strong. It is difficult to braze anything except simple structures such as a straight pipe joints or flat pieces of metal with a propane torch. Keep in mind that welding galvanized steel is highly hazardous to your health because the galvanized coating has zinc that is dangerous to the lungs and respiratory system.

If a Hurricane had a dog fight with a Spitfire who would win?
The Spitfire is a much more famous aircraft than the Hurricane and in so many ways was undeniably superior.The Spitfire was faster, considerably faster and was far better constructed. The Hurricane, however was far more maneuverable, had a greater range and a higher operating ceiling.The Spitfire had 8 machine guns whilst the Hurricane had a mere 4. The Hurricane was outdated before it even saw service and was effectively a follow on to First World War airplanes where as the Spitfire was the first of a more modern style of plane.All things considered it would be a very close thing. In the end it would come down to the pilots involved. The Hurricane was outclassed by virtually all the German craft it faced and yet still won through. The Spitfire too punched well above its weightclass.It should be easy. It should be the Spitfire. Instead we are declaring it a draw and are putting it down to the pilots on the day.
Where was the Spitfire designed?
The Spitfire was designed at Supermarine Aircraft Works, Woolston, Southampton, England.
