The Hurricane from Finnish Air Force Museum, Hurricane Mk. I HC-452 that fought in the Continuation War in Finland vs. Russian forces was on display on the Finnish army fair this weekend. I took a bit of video of the plane and put the initial version of it here:

More photos of the Hurricane etc, from the "Defence & Security Fair 2005" that had very sizable Finnish defence forces presentation. As well as the Hurricane the Finnish Air Force section had a WW2 fighter pilot as visitor each day giving a n interview to the audience:
