35 airworthy at this time. If this article is true and they can be restored, it will triple that number. If they can just put together enough HE111 and ME109’s, they could have re-enact the battle of Britain, lol.

The UK RAF will be thrilled. . .they have active duty pilots flying “active duty” WWII Hurricanes and Spitfires.

What a great assignment, getting assigned to fly the Spitfire or Hurricane.

The unit is based out of RAF Coningsby, channel 48 on your TACAN dial.

(I recall the TACAN channel because back in the 80’s I made an emergency landing in my A-10 at RAF Coningsby. Lost an engine while practicing an emergency single-engine divert to Coningsby. . .timing is everything).
