Hi Lee,
It must have been you that posted that quote a while back. Yeah I remember reading about that Duxford one a few weeks ago. Quite interesting.
Any info you have would be appreciated. I would like to add it to my files for future reference.

Mike
: Dear Mike;

: I am not sure if I uploaded that link or someone else. Alo
: t of research has been done on this aircraft as well as th
: e Hurricane in Duxford. Both have phony plates and RCAF Hu
: rricane experts Jerry Vernon and Norm Malayney have the fu

: WWW.CAHS.COM discuss. brd you'll see Norm's request for f
: urther information on the DUXFORD aircraft. I'm finding ou
: t it was never to have left Canada!

: As for the USAF, it is another ex-RCAF type that seems to
: have some phony serial number that makes no sense. Not eve

: lls me, is sitting somewhere offshore of Tofino, BC on Van
