Great pics Eric,

Somehow this Hurricane really looks like time stood still. It doesn't look too "new" giving it a very atmospheric patina.

Wow, that looks GREAT!!

Excellent shots Eric. Any chance you could post a couple of larger versions?

Love the pics, thanks for posting. I'm guessing that nose art isn't 1945 standard? (not that I have a problem with that, a beautiful plane)

'Bader's Bus Co, Still Going Strong' was used by his Sqn after he was shot down, but not like that. It's a (lovely) Canadian XII, not a European I or II and the scheme seems to be a mix of Canadian theatre and European nose art. But it could be purple withj pink spots - it's great to see.

It is a beautiful airplane and it is great to finally see some really nice pics of it. Thanks for sharing Eric. One small nitpick, the red spinner reminds me of a clown nose! Rather see it in black or duck egg but I'm not complaining.

It is a very rough but elegent looking machine and Chad you are right the red nose just isnt right.

It was not an easy photoshoot due to various reasons but I managed to pull out a few good pics on only two passes by the C-180 photoplane. I hope to vist Jerry and the crew at Fighter Factory later in the summer so maybe, just maybe we can try it again.
