I was fortunate enough to sit in the cockpit of this very aircraft once while visiting Harry Whereatt's farm. His collection of wartime aircraft and aircraft parts was significant.
Well done great to see a magic warbird when you can't be there in person. As for the two whinges below me I hope they survive the stress they suffer over they're (minuscule) complaints.
What a fantastic restoration!!! The Spitfire gets most of the credit for winning the Battle of Britain but something like 2/3 of Fighter Command's a/c were Hurricanes. Speaking of not getting enough credit, I'm American but l think our neighbors to the north don't get the credit they deserve for helping win both world wars.
Beautiful Hurricane, unfortunately it doesn't receive the credit due it for being the primary fighter that fought and protected Great Britain during the Battle of Britain in 1940. Excellent restoration of a very underappreciated and historic fighter.
I think this was a greater achievement than the spitfire. Hawker themselves turned a biplane fighter into a wonderful successful monoplane fighter from/using ,old design and construction methods ,to be almost as good as the spitfire. I think it put down most of the nazi bombers and probably some fighters also
What I'd like to know is if there's a running one of these which did shows or still does them with the engine running and an actual moving prop, because funnily enough was interestingly floating around the surface on here as us themed passionate people who love looking at magnificent machinery do and I've watched Johnnie Johnson's replica Spit. That thing used to run at shows and looking at a bit of the pics and the odd vid it used to be displayed occasionally with the War And Peace Spit. ZP-A P7370? I'm not sure if it's exactly the right person, some things people don't know where others research a bit, but their Hurricane is serial V6555. Did that used to fire up at shows, is there a running replica of one of these which did 40's weekends, idk, but interesting question.
@@richardsoane6192 When I met Bader in 1988, he introduced himself as "Bahder." Bob Stanford Tuck, and Bader's wife pronounced the name likewise. So if you have a higher authority on the pronunciation, I'd be interested in learning about it.
@@MarkPhelps-c2g My father who was in the RAAF in PNG during WW2 pronounced it Bader. I am fairly certain during those years there was only print media in PNG and that was how it was pronounced due to not knowing otherwise I would imagine that was common in Australia and not a sign of disrespect I watched a hand full of UK doco's and one commentator referred to him briefly as Douglas Bader thus it is not unique.

Good video but the unedited audio needs lots of work to remove lip smack type noises. It wouldn't take too long to go through the voice over with a simple program and remove all of that.
intakes are clean,... would it hurt you to spend another 10s and explain where the aIr is going .. stopped watching after that . a very disapointing walkaround .
It’s not a comprehensive ground school class. It’s a brief video showing a few points of interest of a beautiful restoration. Kudos to the team that restored, maintains and flys it.
Fabulous restoration! Mcknight Blvd at the Calgary airport is named after this ace that was raised in Calgary.

What a beautiful resto. I'm sure it's better now than it was when it was first built .
What a very fine excellent rebuild of this Hawker Hurricane Mk XII....Thank you......
Old F-4 Phantom ll pilot Shoe🇺🇸
Beautiful Hurricane 😊❤
I had the honour of meeting Harry and sitting in that airplane at Assinniboia many years ago.
Beautiful aircraft, thank you for sharing & posting! 👍
I saw it there, stunning! Go to Airventure if you want to smell the gems! Amazing show, thanks EAA and ALL the volunteers!
Incredible work. Spotless maintenance. Beautiful aircraft.

Bless you hurricane good to see your alive and in the air

Magnificent airplane
I believe that aircraft was built in Fort William Ontario by can car.

The speaker makes unbearable noises.
The voice over is interesting but the mouth noises are really distracting.
Glad I’m not the only one who noticed
nearly unwatchable due to this and it's not Barder , it's pronounced baider which makes it cringeworthy viewing

Mk XVII with early war camouflage?.
It is a late-production Mk XII built in Canada as related in the voiceover. But it’s painted to honor McKnight, who flew a Mk I.
Mark XVII?? Granted Mark IIs built in Canada were designated Mark XII, but Mark XVII??
@@markphelps588 The narrative of most authentic is skewed by this sentimental deviance.
Great airplane, lousy audio.

Small intake is engine air. Large intake is cooling/radiator.
There, there was mummy's little soldier upset with the nasty man. 😂😂
Stopped watching???? seriously?

Wow toys thrown out.
