JRT,

Blue Jays are coming your way? You lucky bounder! Tell C51 to shoo a few in this direction and I can guarantee a nationwide stampede of British twitchers that will make a land grab race seem like a Sunday afternoon stroll.

There are many original Hurricanes about in the UK as 'permanent' museum exhibits but I hope that no attempt is ever made to cannibalize them to keep others flying. As you say, there is nothing quite like the original thing. The one that crashed was a Canadian built Mk12, I think.
