Country: | I actually meant no he isnt Russian. He's part of a Russian re-enactment group and I think he's actually from Bristol in the UK.

Hawker Hurricanes? Well, as far as I know they dragged one out of a lake on the Kola Peninsular in amazing condition. I understand they're going to restore it to flying status, and I imagine it will appear at airshows over there.
There is also the Russian Federation Air Force Museum in Monino which is outside Moscow, which apparantly has two Lend-Lease Hurricanes exibited there. | |

I was hoping i could get in contact with someone out there that could confirm their condition and possibly provide photos. No, i am not doing a survivors list, i am doing something different. Just as part of it i am trying to locate as many survivors as i can.
At the moment i am only looking at ones that fly or are under restoration to fly but i will soon be moving into the museam examples. | |
