This Hurricane was based at Yorkton Sk. during the war. It's purpose was to shot down Japanese balloons. Harry has a picture of the airplane in the hanger at Yorkton with Mr. Don Hearne sanding in front of it. It still carries the markings "71" and "StarDust" on the engine cowling. Mr. Hearne is a member of the Vintage Aircraft Restorers. This group restores WWII aircraft at the Western Development Museum in Moose Jaw Sk.


When I visited Harry on September 15, 2005, I took a picture of that weathered 1945 photo.

About the stories about Stardust...

I've always heard Whereatt's Hurricane is RCAF 5447 and that only the cowl panel (and I'm sure other smaller parts) are from Stardust which was RCAF 5455. Is this not the case? If it is does Whereatt still have the airframe of 5455?

Nice pics.

Jim, You may be correct about the "Star Dust" panel being from another aircraft. I will ask Harry the next time I see him. I don't know if Harry has another Hurricane airframe. If he does, I didn't see it at the farm.
