HAWKER SEA HURRICANE 1B

WWII - Fleet Air Arm

MODIFIED CASTING!

The restoration of this Hurricane was progressing slowly until a formal agreement was reached between the Imperial War Museum and the Shuttleworth Collection, which meant that the same team that had restored the Collection's Spitfire would restore Z7015.The renewed restoration started in earnest in February 1986, and led to the first flight of the Worlds ONLY Sea Hurricane 1b, in the hands of  pilot Andy Sephton, on September 16 1995. Today, this aircraft is a frequent performer with the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden, Bedfordshire. It is registered G-BKTH but carries its military Fleet Air Arm colours as Z7015 coded ‘7-L’ of No.880 Sqn. HMS Indomitable in the Indian Ocean, during Operation Ironclad – the Invasion of Madagascar- in May 1942.
