If you travel to New Zealand for a holiday, I strongly recommend that you visit
the SIR KEITH PARK MEMORIAL AVIATION DISPLAY in MOTAT.

Oh, there's Hawker Hurricanes featured in this, as well.
The heroism of these young pilots (many of them between the ages of 18-20) was astonishing. One of the Spitfire pilots recounted being above a flight of Gernan bombers, and watching 3 Hurricane pilots dive into a formation of 500 German bombers in a series of "blow-through" attacks.
