What's going to be the 7th Hurri?

Where is the Mk 1 being rebuilt as a two seater, that Sadsack mentioned.I have”nt heard about that one.

Including this one.

Fantastic stuff!:)

There was an airworthy Hurricane at Chino a few years back i have picture of it somewhere.

But 7 flying Hurricanes what a fantastic sight that would make.

It was featured in one of the two UK magazines, in response to a listing of all Hurricanes currently surviving. The fact that this particular Hurri wasn’t on the list prompted a full article in the following issue. If I remember correctly, the chap had visited a deceased estate sale of an elderly doctor and come away with a 40’s first aid bag for inclusion in the restoration.

Although not airworthy, there was a chap restoring a Hurri in his garden shed, and was being meticulous in his search for original parts. Is it finished, does anyone know?

I think you will find there are several…..!

Including this one.

re;

was that the one which is a BOB veteran Mk1, now under restoration to fly as a 2 seater?

Shame that BG974 N68RW of Lone Star Flight Museum is not on the list of flyable Hurricanes. First it gets it’s tail chewed off by a Spitfire and then submerged in salt water during the flood.

Wonder how it’s restoration is going.

Regards,

Can you list all the airworthy Hurricanes?

1. LF363 – BBMF, RAF Coningsby, UK.
2. PZ865 – BBMF, RAF Coningsby, UK.
3. G-BKTH – Sea Hurricane – Shuttleworth Collection, Old Warden, UK.
4. G-HURI – HAC, Duxford UK.
5. G-HUPW/R4118 – Mk 1 – Peter Vacher, Didcot ,UK.
6. ZK-TPK/P3351 – Alpine Fighter Collection, Wanaka, NZ.
7. C-FDNL – (former G-ORGI), Ed Russell, Niagra, Canada.
8. C-FTPM – KZ321 (Mk IV) – Vintage Wings of Canada (Michael Potter), Canada.

So are we looking at P2902 G-ROBT as being the next, and 7th UK flying example? Be a bit hopeful of N.Weald going by the pics?

Deosen’t Jerry Yagen have an airworthy Hurricane ?

I had no idea there were so many under restoration in this country. Thats bloomin fantastic, now all I can do is imagine them all flying together………..sweet……….

Just adding to Pagen01’s list …

LF363 BBMF Coningsby
PZ865 BBMF Coningsby
R4118 G-HUPW
AE977 N33TF Chino USA
KZ321 G-HURY Canada
BE505 G-HHII Hangar 11 North Weald

You forget UK based …

Z5140 G-HURI Duxford
Z7015 G-BKTH Shuttleworth

Blimey, that actually looks quite complicated.
Forgot about Sea Hurricane Z7015 G-BKTH.

I thought about this and got the six UK examples, and was going to add the New Zealand and Canadian ones as well. A quick google to confirm a serial tie up produced the following link to Wikipedia, which look good enough to me.

I do like that Med theatre schemed Hurri, I didn’t realise there was anything like seven airworthy Hurricanes about, and was amazed to see three at Cosford.
Can you list all the airworthy Hurricanes?
