Hurricane Training in UK

The VAT is of course returnable to the operating company and shall be held to cover maintenance, insurance, hangarage ….

:confused:

Is it just because I have had a good lunch with all that entails that I am finding it impossible to fathom this sentence?

If a company charges VAT it is not ‘returned’ to them.

VAT paid on maintenance, hangarage, etc etc can be offset against it (i.e. the 20%) but otherwise every penny of VAT charged has to be handed over to HMRC

Has anyone any news if things have moved forward ?

Advert in LAA mag this month.

Has anyone any news if things have moved forward ?

There were some two seaters on the Russian front, with open cockpits.
A bit chilly !

Open cockpit then…wonderful stuff….on with the goggles and the silk scarf…away we go…easy up here isn’t it……where’s that bloomin’ mortgage paper !!!!

And according to Bob Ogden’s Aviation & Museum Collections book, a two-seater like that one may be still in existence in Iran.

You mean a bit like this?

😉

Do you mean modifying/altering into a two seater? You can’t restore something into something it wasn’t before.

I believe that Hawkers did a few for Persia if I’m not mistaken,could be of course.

Hawker restoration’s are currently in the process of restoring a Hurricane Mk.I into a two seater Hurricane.

“Hurricane researcher JE Vernon”

There is not much that Jerry Vernon doesn’t know about CCF Hurricanes

Which probably explains why the Flypast article earlier this year (Jan?) avoided mention of the Canadian number and just referred to the UK civil registration identity.

From what I’ve been reading recently (on Pprune) I doesn’t appear that the Tiger Moth is an especially easy aircraft to fly (which is probably what made it such a good trainer).

Nice idea, perhaps it is time to rustle up a two-seater!

The caa list it as 5487. What would bring BW874 into the picture?

This business plans suggests 10 pilots doing 5 hours each a year, which would surely raise currency issues. However, wartime accounts suggest it was an easy aeroplane to operate, and I think the ATA ranking put it one order of difficulty above the Tiger Moth.

That would be ten highly-stimulated tyro Hurricanists trying to remember to put the gear down again, which they all will, until the day……….

Re “R30040” has anyone confirmed that this is RCAF 5487 or actually Sea Hurricane BW874?

What’s the best way to find out the full history of this Hurricane that’s for sale ?

Actually they are two different aircraft. The platinum fighters example is a Mk,IIA P3351 on sale in New Zealand.
