Just finished a short film on the first flight of the recently discussed Hangar 11 Hurricane. Many thanks to Peter Teichman for letting us film the day and also allowing us to record his reactions to the first flight.

Excellent video, thank you for sharing it! I especially like the owner's commentary during the first flight...he must be especially excited about another exceptional aircraft being added to his collection of flying warbirds.

I hope she makes the airshow-rounds this coming summer. The paint scheme is gorgeous, and the accuracy and authenticity astounding.

Geez, that's exactly what I didn't need....

Another Hurricane added to the UK airshow circuit!!! What a nice looking plane.

Now there's even more pressure for me to head over that way.

Beautifully filmed and edited video. Thank you for posting.

Cheers,

David

Beautiful airplane .... :D

A question for those who know more than I do. How many Hurricanes currently fly Worldwide? How many fly in GBR alone?

How wonderful all this is...I remember the hoopla in 1984 when the Strathallan Collection Hurricane came (back) to Canada to join CWH's collection...how so much was made of the fact that she was one of only three still flying! Superb video of Mr Teichman's new work of art, too.

There'll be another flyer in Canada in not too terribly long, also, since Vintage Wings have a Mk.XII in work which will ultimately join their Mk.IV on the circuit...

By the by, whither the ex-TFC machine? Which one is it on the list above, or is it not currently active?
