I received my signed copy at the weekend. Its a superb book, and all credit to Gordon.
I have both of the Spitfire Survivors books too, and what is very apparent is how few Hurricanes there are in comparison. I knew there were fewer flyers, but there are significantly fewer in any condition!

What happened to that Hurricane frame that was auctioned for around £8k a few years ago?
By: cotteswold - 28th September 2015 at 17:46
Sulk over!
Just had a very nice letter from Natalie at Grub Street promising me a copy.
I only had the chance to speed read it. Does it cover the MSFU Hurricane that is being built?

Mine came just now, only had a quick look so far but really chuffed with it, by what I’ve seen.
By: Bruce - 28th September 2015 at 12:10
It lists all surviving Hurricanes – so by definition, that includes all those that may be rebuilt to fly in the future.
Very good indeed.

Without having gone through the book properly (yet), it lists all the main ones under restoration at the moment. There are probably others that I haven’t seen yet.
By: trumper - 28th September 2015 at 11:13
Does the book list any future possible rebuilds to fly or have we reached that now?
By: Graham Boak - 27th September 2015 at 22:10
Mine came today, Sunday, in the afternoon. Lovely book.

The ******s, I’m sulking now.:(

Amazon tend to post/deliver pre-ordered items a couple of days before general release, although nowadays it looks as though P/O stuff gets delivered specially the day before – I’ve come home twice now to find Amazon envelopes on the doormat on a Sunday afternoon!
By: 8674planes - 27th September 2015 at 19:54
Received mine today and have had a quick flick through it. Looks great and can’t wait to read it through.
By: Sopwith - 27th September 2015 at 19:44
Crickey, I ordered mine with Amazon , thought it wasn’t released till tomorrow. You were lucky and delivered on Sunday.

I knew ‘one of them’ was definately Ed Russell’s US-X….. but was confused by the 2 x Hurricanes in the picture 🙂
Got to be ‘kin huge mirror 😮
It’s a series of mirror panels – you can see the mirrored Hurricane looks slightly disjointed about the top of the fuselage 😉
By: Firebird - 11th January 2006 at 13:13
Never noticed the mirror, but going by the “X” and the colour scheme, this is Ed Russell’s flyer.

Got to be ‘kin huge mirror 😮 as you can just see the ‘Little Willy’ cartoon under the cockpit of the ‘nearest’ Hurricane meaning it has to be a reflection……
By: DazDaMan - 11th January 2006 at 12:48
Which one though….. 😉
My eyes may be decieving me, or there’s a damn great mirror on the wall next to it, but that photo shows 2 x Hurricanes :confused: and the one in the background seems to have a ‘X’ code letter on it which would indicate the ‘flyer’ (Geoffrey Page’s US-X codes) that is now with Ed Russell.
So what Hurricane is this….??????

I’m pretty sure this example now resides with Ed Russell, along with his Bf109E and Spitfire IX.

Thank you, i have sorted my list now.
By: EN830 - 11th January 2006 at 07:49
Thats why i am asking you all to help me. So who owns/operates G-HURI now?
As Glenn mentioned way down this thread, G-HURI is now owned and operated by the Historic Aircraft Collection.

Thank you,
