The Hurricane Mk IV, s/n KZ321 c/r CF-TPM, has flown for the first time since it was shipped from Duxford and reassembled in Gatineau by VWoC. The pilot, Robert Erdos an experienced Hurricane pilot and test pilot for the National Reasearch Council of Canada, reported no problems with the airplane. He also was sporting a big grin when he returned to the ramp.
KZ321 WILL BE ATTENDING AIR SHOW OTTAWA THIS WEEKEND!!!
You can thank the goverment for being speedy on the paperwork. The first flight wasn't actually scheduled for another week or two even though the Hurricane was practically ready to go.

Simply outstanding. Thanks Mike for posting some pics. I can't make it to Ottawa this weekend but I can hope for good weather for those of you who can go. Any chance the Hurricane will make the trip to Geneseo in three weeks
