Any news on Ed Russell's collection in Canada

is the Hurricane a flyer?

That 109E is just soooooooo gorgeous…………oh to hear the sound of a DB again………….. 😀 😀

Mr Russell’s 109 certainly would be a crowd-pleaser, but thus far this collection does not appear at airshows. Only the Harvard is yet on the C- register (as C-GFLR). Access to view the collection has thus far been granted chiefly to RCAC squadrons and the like, and Mr R does not plan to operate his hangar as a museum.

The Hurricane visible in the background of one of the posted pix is ex-David Price (as the 109 is as well). Perhaps of interest, before going to the UK for rebuild to fly, this Hurricane spent a number of years in another southern-Ontario collection, that of Jack Arnold of Brantford ON. Jack recovered quite a lot of Hurricane material from Quebec and New Brunswick in the seventies, and owned a number of other old birds as well. His former project Hurricane sure does look different these days…

Ed has Mickey Mouse painted on it as hs personal emblem. Ed made a bunch of $$$$$$ from a law suit with Disney.

c’est la vie!

I sniffed around on Google and, lo and behold, MK912 came up in her last display in the UK! (from www.sweptwings.co.uk)

Thanks to put this back on the board Daz. As you know, I am also trying to find info about Ed’s collection. Any info or recent pics are welcome!

Thanks,
