Built as a Hurricane I. Ex AG287 for the RAF, but not delivered. To the RCAF instead as 1374. Crashed on the runway at RCAF Station Sydney, NS in July 1942. Converted to a Hurricane XIIA. Again crashed, but details now known. It left the RCAF fleer in 1944. To a private owner between 1970 - 1979. Underwent restoration between 2005 and 2009. It carries the markings of a Manston based MkIIb, operated by the 174 (Mauritius) Squadron in the spring of 1942. First post-restoration flight in January 2009.
