Just thinking, If it is indeed AE977 could it be their as a swap for the Spitfire Mk.1?

Both are already owned by by the same people

That would be nice. I remember the crash recovered kit being offered many many moons ago. I rang the chap up, but as a student at the time, did not have enough wonga. It was not that expensive then IIRC

This cannot be that difficult, giving that all the airworthy UK based Hurricanes are accounted for, (and not a recent Hawker restoration) and giving there’s only a limited amount of other airworthy Hurricanes, it is likely to be AE977

Given that we are told this aircraft is airworthy and has recenty arrived from abroad (and there are currently six foreign based Hurricanes), AE977 is the only candidate and colour scheme fits. Russell Group aircraft has opposite pattern camouflage, Jerry Yagens is in his museum at Va, AFC’s has its fin flash on the rudder, Mr Allen’s it is not…. nor is it Mr Potter’s (wrong scheme).

No LF363 has a white spinner. It’s not Peter Vacher’s Mk.1(wrong camo). HAC’s machine is or was in Russia.
