In reply top Mk1 Hurricane in Midlands? posted by Tom Woodhouse on Thu Oct 04, 2001 04:58:26 PM



It is R4118 apparently of 605 and 111 Sqns, registered as G-HUPW on August 21st to a collector in the midlands.

I think this is the one that Jagan Mohar(?)mentioned on the WW forum, and it may well be the one which was said to be on top of a tea shop somewhere in India........I think I read that bit in Aeroplane Monthly recently.....either that or it is the one which was claimed to be V6846 and said to be at IAF Patna in the early seventies.........or both could actually be the same one Hurricane......
