..this could explain it , direct from Russia [edited]
" Last year in Murmansk was recovered three Hurricanes .But of course they were not in a barn or
in a children's play ground. One was recovered from marsh (Merlin XX with
engine-mount, pilot's seat with piece from fuselage and centre-section),
second from small lake (very nice set of cockpit equipment and set of good
landing gears and tailwheel) and the third from open tundra from Rybachyi
peninsula (centre-section with landing gears with doors and piece from
fuselage but very corroded). I remember that third was on the storage in a
barn - but only storage, not found there. All those recoverys was in time
between April and September 2001. I was in conversation with owners those
Hurricanes about sale, Later one Russian intermediary bought
all of this Hurricane and it was in November."
