Hear the roar of the original Rolls Royce Merlin III engine as used in the Battle of Britain as our Hurricane flies overhead.

Hurricane 501 has now been completely restored to flying condition after 30,000 hours of labour by the engineers at Hawker Restoration. Today Hurricane 501 flies in its original colours and markings as worn in 1940 using over 30{6df0606edd364026ee9adc1708074da65647f6f7e3b76b280fb0183c1f9509da} of original parts, making this one of the most authentic Hurricanes flying today.
