There was a 'S*itfire Fund' that raised a lot of money, but.... 'The Hurricane Fund' raised bugger all, so yes, nothing has changed, people are as stupid* as ever.
* - I mean the public in general, not the Original poster.

I think that like many things at this time, the Spitfire was a propaganda success
With the development from the S6 and the Schneider Trophy, there was already a massive tradition of British aviation success and engineering that continued to give the Spitfire a racing heritage and sporty profile that fitted well with the propaganda machine
The Hurricane meanwhile was a plodding, steady development of a practical fighter / bomber and interceptor that lacked the profile of the Spitfire. The fact that it served longer, in a wider theatre and accounted for more enemy aircraft was lost

As is the fact that without the poles, saffers, and other Forrinz we wouldn't have been having a vote to leave A united Europe as we would be under a different regime. How easily people forget
