The restoration of the HC-452 has been now completed, with the plane attached to the permanent exhibition of the Aviation Museum of Central Finland. – A photograph of the plane in the exhibition.

Looking good, and a credit to the team who did the work. Pleased to see that any temptation to ‘smarten it up’ has been resisted. It must be the most original of the surviving MkI Hurricanes. The nearest contender is probably L1592, but not sure how much that aircraft was changed in the name of refurbishment and preservation prior to it taking up residence in the Science Museum in 1961.
