Yugoslavia obtained 24 Hurricane Is from Hawker by 1940 and had commenced licence production with a similar number competed by the time it was overrun by Axis powers in April 1941. Interestingly one of these was modified by Ikarus at Zemun with a Diamler Benz DB601A engine replacing the RR Merlin, apparently improving performance. The exhibited Mk.IV, built in 1943, flew in the liberation of Yugoslavia with 351 (Y) Sqn RAF, and later became 9539 with the YAF, which operated Hurricanes till 1952
