Spitfire:
P7350 had a career break from 1948 to 1968.
AB910 had a career break from 1947 to 1965
EN951 has a break of sorts between 1943 and ??
MK356 had a 53 year break until 1997
PM631 has been in service since 1945.
PS915 had a 30 year break.

Hurricane:
LF363 was in service from 1944 to 1991 and from 1998
PZ865 entered service in 1972.

So to be a record holder, PM631 looks like the one to beat.
