(with my appologies - Hotspur actually flew)
Question is about the size of the wing.
Layout of the undercarriage, as well as a good look strongly suggest that wing was what Hurricane had, not the big wing carried-over from the Henley. Speed figure from Wikipedia puts it in Hurricane category (despite the turret mock-up), ie. ~20 mph faster than Henley.
Wikipedia states:
The Hawker Hotspur was a Hawker Henley redesigned to take a Boulton-Paul semi-powered four gun turret.
and:
In the same fashion as the Henley, the Hotspur used standard Hawker Hurricane outer wing panels.
Granted, Wikipedia lists the 40-50 years old sources for this.
If someone has better information, I'd thank in advance
