Done, this plane should stay in the UK.

BTW: Since I live in the USA I gave the site  an address for a McDonalds in London in order to vote.  :airplane:

No offence but I really hope it doesn't end up state side in a private collection. it needs to be in the Battle of Brittan squadron.

PS I have signed it too.

love the American support for this, its much apprieated guys.

I really hope the British can see past the money on this and own their country's history.

Who owns the aircraft now?
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

No idea, I just saw the title and had a knee jerk reaction of 'BLOODY HELL!' and signed the petition.  Haven't looked into it but I have a feeling this Hurricane isn't and never has been associated with the BBMF.  But even so, I'd still like it to stay in Britain.

I need a UK postcode to use so I can finish fraudulently signing your petition.

Personally I think you guys should be flying this thing.

I don't care what happens to it so long as it is properly cared for.   These things ebb and flow.   It will wind up in Britain again someday if it isn't destroyed...

Make them an offer! Is this the same aircraft auctioned in 2012? Nope, guess not. . . seems to be a repeat of history then.
