Built in 1943, it was delivered to the RAF as LD975. In Jun-1945 it was delivered to the Yugoslav Air Force where it continued to fly as LD975, until 1947 when it became 9539. The Hurricanes were withdrawn from use in Aug-1952, and this one went to the Muzej JNA in Belgrade. In 1961 it was handed over to the Muzej Vazduhoplovstva Beograd. It is here not carrying its serial LD975. The museum lists the cn as 20925. This photo is copyright © Peter Vercruijsse, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
