New Hawker Hurricane

And she looks to be a stunning example. Well done to all involved!

Flew again yesterday, after at least 15 years restorative endeavours. Well done !

16 airworthy Hurricanes now.

I can’t imagine how excited you and the rest of the team are about this one, Dave. Absolutely fantastic to see and hear!

Hang on, hang on, we haven’t flown it yet. That was a taxi and brake test. (I mentioned it in the Description section of the video.)

The first flight will happen when it happens — soon I hope, but April in Canada is a month of rain and high winds. And Gatineau only has one runway.

Plus, we want the owner to be there for it (to fly Chase amongst other things), and he has a busy schedule.

yes cannot have enough Hurricanes in the world

thanks for the gen Prop Strike

Any Hurricane is a welcome addition.

Is it new ? It flew some years ago with Harry Wheratt, I believe. I think he put it on its nose.

Great to see, anyway.
