One of the pom/REME air techs called 'bubbles' Thornton (don't ask.....) learned to fly over there and set about buying one. I don't know how he got on as I'd gone back to Oz by then. I only recognise about 3 planes and that's one of them! Someone joked that they repaired them with old dried out Bedford canvas canopies and glue.

The husband of my wifes friend who lives here in Abingdon is just about to sell an original Battle of
Britain
Hurricane that he found in India. It was an ex Indian Air Force and had been used as an engineering aid at a University in Benares. I don't know him or her but I'll ask my wife to make him a decent offer.......... In my dreams!
If that's the guy I think it is, he restores Rolls Royce cars for fun. A friend of mine from RAF Benson volunteers on his Hurricane.

I'd gladly buy one if I ever won the Lotto.
