Hawker Hurricane for sale!

Dear all,

Have seen the following on the "Real Aeroplane Company" homepage....


"The Real Aeroplane Company has decided to place its all black Hawker Hurricane Mk XII (G-HURR) on the market. The decision was not taken lightly but was made for a variety of reasons. With our display commitment now firmly rooted in furthering the development of Breighton as the north's leading aviation centre, that simple equation of value-for-money v's entertainment value had significant influence. Additionally, since the departure of the Spitfire and Harvard, it was becoming obvious to all that the Hurricane simply didn't fit into our shared vision of all that Breighton is about. As a result, it was decided to let the Hurri' go. However, the Company have been out and about with their shopping lists and a brief to find two or three historic aircraft considerably more appropriate to the ambience that we're all trying to create at Breighton. The first of those was the Fokker Dr1 Triplane replica, I can now reveal that the two new aircraft they've chosen are even more exciting and incredibly rare."

Let's hope that the plane will remain in the UK!

regards
Olivier
