This aircraft was manufactured from parts of several airframes. The majority of the parts came from a Canadian aircraft built at Fort William, Ontario in 1942. That plane crashed in Lake St. Johns, Quebec on March 27, 1944. Parts of at least five Hurricanes went into the construction of this and one other restored aircraft. The aircraft was loaned to the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison, Texas for several years before being sold. In early 2006 the Military Aircraft Restoration Corporation loaned it to the Pima Air and Space Museum.
