Wondering if anyone can provide me with any updates? Haven't even thought about this a/c in about 2 years! Thanks!

The Hurricane first flew in December 2004. It has attended many events since then and is one beautiful aircraft.

There is a good book written by Mr. Vacher called " Hurricane R4118". It covers the acquistion and restoration.

Its based about 15 mins down the road from me and is a lovely sight returning home on a sunny summers evening.

Apparently there is a website in the offing, but no news of the URL as yet.

Thank you all! I met Polly & Julian V. when they were in FL to get some T-6 time -- lovely people, and quite proud of the Hurri, but since that time, my life's been a bit crazy and I lost track of what was going on with it..........Manonthefence, that must be a fabulous sight indeed! I'm quite envious!
