BBMF 'giving' Hurri LF363 to the Indian AF?
 

Top story in 'Aeroplane' mag this morning is that the BBMF is 'giving' Hurricane LF363 to the Indian Air Force historic flight, in return for a box of bits which one day may constitute a Mk1 Hurricane...:=

Would BBMFPRO like to comment??

Well on another forum, someone at BBMF has posted that it's a big IF it happens but it wouldn't be a box of bits they get back but an airworthy Mk1.

So, that implies that this is being considered, and therefore IMHO, the idiot that dreamed up such a preposterous idea should be shown the error of his/her ways in no uncertain terms :mad::ugh:

There's absolutely no logical reason for this to even be considered.

LF and PZ are just too important.

I could just about see some logic to swaping/selling one of the later mark Spits for a 3rd Hurri, but not a like for like swap, especially LF and it's history of the longest serving RAF aircraft........it's just insanity :(

I keep looking at a calender to see if the date is April 1st :eek:

Could the majority care if the BBMF Hurricanes are Mk.1s or Mk. IICs? I couldn't and losing either PZ865 or LF363 would be like losing an old friend (I'm still grieving after Mossie RR299 crashed and was w/o). This is just unthinkable and if there is some doubt about this, I can't think why Aeroplane have reported this as though it will?:rolleyes:
