"Which one"...Can't help grinning at that. Not long ago I used to wonder whether I'd ever see a Hurricane in the air again. Now we have three of them either flying or soon to be in Ontario...and in the case of Mr Potter, a query about his Hurricane has to be qualified with "which one"...!

To Mr Potter (and Mr Russell, too)...many thanks from an impecunious enthusiast for choosing THAT particular dream to live out, and for being willing to share it with us!

That puts a smile on my face as well. When giving tours at VWC I especially enjoy saying that nowhere else in North America you will find two Hurricanes in one hangar. I am sure that must be the case in the UK, certainly Duxford. What about the BBMF? Do they operate two Hurricanes?

Steve, I don't want to ruin your fun, but last time I checked, Gatineau was on my side of the Ottawa river.
