Can anyone tell me the history behind this photograph of a Hurricane?

Don’t know the source.
Edit. Ok! Got it! http://website.lineone.net/~roling48/UKclassics/PQ6FFD-1a.JPG
Is it even airworthy?
You’d have a problem with ICAO Noise Stage III 😀
Guess, No! Hush-kits (http://myaviation.net/?pid=00491782)
‘…then moved again as Wing Leader to command and lead the Kenley Wing on August 2nd 1941.’

Whats the status with the Silver Dutch Spit? (MK732?)
Isn’t she registered as PH-OUQ ?
‘Another interesting Percival that may still exist locally, in part at least, is the one-off Proctor 6, CF-EHF, a folding-wing floatplane variant built for the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1946. It ended up (on wheels) in the Jack Arnold collection, but by the time Jack got it it had been stored outdoors for a number of years and was sadly very far gone. Circa 1986 it was acquired by Allan Rubin, another collector, then based at Mt.Hope (Hamilton) and today mainly based at Markham north of Toronto. Last time I spoke with Mr Rubin he still had the remains of the unique Proctor in storage…but that was ten years ago. (BTW Mr Rubin also had a beautiful Miles Hawk at that time and I believe he also still has that, safely stored somewhere here in southern Ontario…)

Thanks for all your help! 🙂
Hei lion rock,
Thank you very much! Nice to see how easy it can be to find such information thanks to the forum and people like you. What does RAFVR mean?
Any one with a photo of this mosquito? Best regards, Mathieu.:)
Some were built from F Hills and Sons Ltd, Manchester and some from Percival Aircraft Ltd, Luton (especially the V’s). But don’t know the connection with the different prefixes (Ae, As, H, K).

Does anybody know the year the photo of G-AIDN in #7 was made?
Was it the 1948 Farnborough Air Show?

edit.: Thanks Albert Ross it was Radlett 1947!
Not sure what Putnams would say about the copyright, but here goes . . .
See also a previous thread here on Percival aircraft, which does mention this aircraft, c/n Ae.140

Thanks! 🙂
There is a photo of it flying on page 109 on A J Jackson’s British Civil Aircraft since 1919 Volume 3 , captioned “The Hudson’s Bay Company’s one-off Proctor 6 floatplane CF-EHF flying near the famous Ashford railway, Kent, while on a test flight from Rochester as X-1 in June 1946”.
Thanks! Great! Could you make a scan of this photo for me?
