Mk1 Hurricane takes to the skies

[charley]

This afternoon at Marshalls, Cambridge Airport a very special MK1 Hurricane took to the Skies for the First time following its restoration. The Aircraft is owned by Peter Vacher and i believe is a Battle of Britain 'veteran'.

The restoration is to an extremely high standard and i believe it is the only airworthy Hurricane with fabric covered wings.

Congratulations to everyone involved with this very special project........

The most Hurricanes I've seen in the air at Legends was 4, so it would be good to beat that :)
