With the rebuild of Hurricane Mk I R4118 completed at the end of 2004, it made its first public appearances in 2005. These shots were taken at these early airshows which included displays at Duxford, Dunsfold, Waddington, Lasham, Little Gransden, Biggin Hill and Shoreham. More recently R4118 has been seen in France and the Czech Republic as well as in all corners of the United Kingdom.

Peter Vacher's book 'Hurricane R4118' which details its astonishing history in the Battle of Britain, its rescue from India, and restoration, has run to four editions in hardback but is now only available in the new paperback edition. It can be ordered from Amazon.

Early airshow bookings for 2012 include:

Sun 6 May Abingdon Air and Country Show
