This Hurricane entered service with the RAF in March 1943. The aircraft was abandoned by the RAF in what is now Isreal. In 1983 the aircraft was recovered from a scrap yard and was returned to the UK. It was aquired by the Imperial War Museum in Duxford in 1991. Restoration started and the aircraft returned to the air in 2003. Vintage Wings of Canada aquired the aircraft in 2006 and itis the last known Hurricane Mark IV in existence still flying. |
