Yes, we plan to completely restore the aircraft to flying condition. We have a facility located in Southern Ontario along with the physical resources to complete the restoration. In addition, we in the process of completing the legal steps to gain non-profit status. Fundraising efforts will continue on a full-time basis to support all maintenance and flying operations. We are also looking to acquire a Harvard IV to be part of our pilot training program. But the important step is to acquire AM274.
Thank you for your interest.

I have followed the work that John has done on his Hurricane and it is top quality, the pictures of the progress are amazing. It is a shame he is selling after getting so far but that does seem like a bargain price considering what is there and what has been done so far…

A Hurricane is always a £2m plus aeroplane once it is sitting on the tarmac, waiting to fly.
John has done a LOT of work on that one, but there is a LOT more to do…

You don’t say what you plan to do with it once you’ve bought it. $350k to acquire it is all very well, but what then? Do you have facilities and funding to complete it properly and operate it?
