Hurricane RCAF s/n 5487

Sorry Paul,

I can't shed much more light on the subject, other that one source I have notes "Gander" for RCAF s/n 5487. Maybe it was stationed there at one point or put into storage there (Gander, New Foundland), leaving it to be "disovered" at a later date.

BTW... the source I have indicates this is a Mk XII.

Regards,

Mike

Sorry, Paul. I am just getting caught up. You posted on Friday after I left work and have not been online all weekend.

I'll check my notes when I get home tonight. Computer at home is giving me trouble so I might not come up with much for you.

Regards,

Mike
