mike65 Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Thanks for that. Now that I know what it is have been able to look up a bit more info. Apparently it was built in 1944 and only took to the air after resto earlier this year. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody new much about it it went off to do a practice, about a mile from the airfield. This is what it has done on previous visits, When it did not return they sent the Hurricane out on a hunt (it has a radio). Heard all this from the pilot when he returned. Thankfully nobody was seriously hurt. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
