If the will and the £££ was there, though that current assembly of parts could not fly, the soul/identity ( call it what you will ) of the Hurricane could surely rise again. We have seen this several times.

I would be amazed if the group has not had numerous formal or informal approaches, but clearly the present plan works best for the group, and they have a super Hurricane project to enjoy !

Looking ahead to ongoing Hurricane projects, John Terrell on Warbird Information Exchange lists these .

– RCAF 5447 at Vintage Wings of Canada
– RCAF 323 at Hawker Restorations in the UK
– Z5207 at Kaelin Aero Technologies in Germany
