It would be an interesting deal if you intended to put the Hurricane MK.I straight into a museum. However to restore her to flying condition you could well replace 80% of her tubes -all of her woodwork -engine and sundry other parts . You then risk a 'genuine' BoB Hurricane in the air when you could do put a machine like the Manston Hurricane II back in the air instead which has a far lesser history but would look virtually identical to the MK.I
