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

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?

cheers Mike, I thought Miss Helen had been sold, has she flown since the engine problem and heavy landing at Duxford, lovely cuffed blades too.

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.
