Hurricane R4118: The extraordinary story of the discovery and restoration of a great Battle of Britian survivor by Peter Vacher

This is an interesting story of an airplane. The author discovered the aircraft in state of scrap at an Indian university, bought it and restored it. The history of the aircraft was most thoroughly investigated, and the restoration recreated an aircraft that fought in the battle of Britain.

Most amazing is that the author traced the men who flew the machine, or their families, and their stories form part of the book.

And if the guns were found by the UK Customs, would we be held for gun running? We decided we just had to take the chance and leave the guns undisturbed in the wings.
