Wrong Hurricane.....you're thinking of PZ865 - the last Hurricane built.

LF363 is the longest serving RAF aircraft on charge and also the last Hurricane to enter RAF service and the founding aircraft of the flight.

It's shocking that anyone could even dream up the idea, and it's total RAF history is more important and special than a swop for a Mk1 IMHO.....
