Warbird Information Exchange

Looking at the Hawker Restorations website: http://www.hawker-restorations-ltd.co.uk/index.html and was wondering if anyone knew what the plans were for these 2 aircraft? Who owns them? Where there going?

Love this group. It seems like they've almost singe-handily been responsible for bringing this breed back from extinction. I need to tip my hat to that! Just wish the website was redone. I find it a little confusing with which aircraft are which.

according to the website the mkIIb is going to the flying heritage collection. It does not say where the mkI is going.

No, those "current restoration" pages are years out of date. The one for FHC has been there and flying for a while. The ones in the front page shot might be #7 and #8, or that photo could be way out of date also.

Some parts of the website have been updated and the two pictured projects are the privatley owned Mk1's currently being worked on (photo July 2009).

I bet average people that discover this site would be more amazed and impressed if they clearly listed all of the aircraft they either worked on or restored. I mean, there up to Hurricane #9??!?!?!!?
