The street name may seem strange initially, but the proximity of this estate to the Second World War West Malling airfield means that this road derived its name from the Hawker Hurricane aeroplane. Other street names in the estate are also derived from WW2 aircraft and include Javelin Road, Spitfire Road, Beafughter Road and Mosquito Road.
