Robs Lamplough Hurricane IV KZ191 What happened to it?

Does Robs still hold this Hurricane IV KZ191 in his collection or did it get moved on, I remember it in his hangar at North Weald back in the late 80s, I know the Mustang and Spitfire were sold to Germany.
Robs was a cracking guy, posh as you like.

As has been mentioned, Robs still owns ‘Miss Helen’, and she’s been flying since at least 2011 (following repairs from 2008). It did make a long-distance visit to MeierMotors in late 2011, for some prop and avionics work (she still sports cuffed-props, as many others do as well these days).

Here’s a nice little film from 2011, of flying aboard ‘Miss Helen’ from its private field, Manor Farm, near Hungerford: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akj68vjgFYg

A photo-post made here, in the summer of 2013: http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?125297-P-51D-Miss-Helen

And more video shot last year of ‘Miss Helen’ (and others) at Manor Farm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9i1VkyzAaY

re;

Robs still has his Hurricane in store. He has no immediate plans for it.

I am sure he will tackle her when he is ready. How many Hurricane projects are due to fly soon?

Robs still has the Hurricane project I believe, and he also still has the Mustang (Miss Helen) as well as the ex-Spanish Bf 109E under restoration at Meier Motors in Germany.
