Duxford replica Hurricane gate guardian

Post by Southwest » Wed Mar 17, 2021 9:37 pm

I’ve passed a few times in the last two weeks and I’ve noticed that the Hurricane has ‘moved’ on the pole.

Was it the wind or does it have a motor that can change it’s position around the pole?

Thanks

Fairly sure it's a weather vane so turns with the wind!

Now I wonder if My better half would agree (to an non specific) weather vane on the roof...?
