HURRICANE MOVING TO CZECH REPUBLIC

摘要

Hurricane Ⅳ 'KZ321'/OO-HUR, owned since 2018 by Belgian businessman and pilot Bernard van Milders, has been acquired by a group connected with the Tocna Aviation Museum at Tocna, just south of the Czech capital Prague. In preparation for its move the aircraft was repainted at Braaschaat, Belgium as BE150/JX-E, the first Hurricane to be flown by Sqn Ldr Karel Kuttelwascher, the top-scoring Czechoslovak pilot in the wartime RAF, after he joined No 1 Squadron. It was due to fly to Tocna before the end of May. The aeroplane had been finished in desert camouflage as a No 4 Squadron machine, 'KZ321', ever since Hawker Restorations completed its restoration to airworthiness for The Fighter Collection in 2003.
