Built in 1940 by Hawker Aircraft Ltd. at Kingston-on-Thames, Z2389 served with five different RAF Squadrons in 1941, including the American volunteer 71 'Eagle' Squadron at Martlesham Heath. As part of emergency war supplies for Russia, Z2389 was crated up and joined the 767 Regiment of the Red Air Force on the Kola Peninsula. On the 20th of June 1942, it was shot down. Z2389's pilot F/Lt Ivan Kalashnikov survived the forced landing. Fifty years later, Z2389 was found, and its remains arrived at Brooklands on the 14th October. Restoration took from 1999 to 2019 - now with Squadron code XR-J.

Built in 1941 and one of 42 Hurricanes that were delivered to Malta in May/.June 1941. On July 4, 1941 the aircraft departed from Safi strip but the pilot had to ditch into the sea, writing off the aircraft. the reason is thought to be an engine fire. In 1993 a diver located the aircraft, at a depth of 40m just off Wied Iz-Zurrieq. In September 1995 the aircraft was salvaged and a restoration project was started.

This Hurricane has just recently been repainted in a different scheme than this one as BG974/RS-D. This aircraft is a salvaged hulk of an unknown Hurricane. Using parts from 5 other airframe hulks it was built into a composite static restoration.
