Medvedya is russian, although he isn't very active anymore

 

[ollieholmes]

Any active members?

Or anyone else for that matter that has been to Russia and found/seen a Hawker Hurricane.

No he isnt.

 

[Anonymous]

Just like the KGB, eh chedder cheese????!!!!!

 

[cheddar cheese]

I actually meant no he isnt Russian. He's part of a Russian re-enactment group and I think he's actually from Bristol in the UK.

 

[Gnomey]

That is what it says on his profile anyway...

 

[Medvedya]

Nyet, nyet! Ya ne Rooski, ya Anglichanyen f'Bristolye!

Hawker Hurricanes? Well, as far as I know they dragged one out of a lake on the Kola Peninsular in amazing condition. I understand they're going to restore it to flying status, and I imagine it will appear at airshows over there.

There is also the Russian Federation Air Force Museum in Monino which is outside Moscow, which apparantly has two Lend-Lease Hurricanes exibited there.

I have those 2 on my list, i also have several others now.

I was hoping i could get in contact with someone out there that could confirm their condition and possibly provide photos. No, i am not doing a survivors list, i am doing something different. Just as part of it i am trying to locate as many survivors as i can.
At the moment i am only looking at ones that fly or are under restoration to fly but i will soon be moving into the museam examples.

Yeah of course I am, how else would I be so good looking even when suffering with flu?

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

If you think that looking like one of the Flock of Seagulls is good looking?

 

[evangilder]

ROFL

 

[cheddar cheese]

Whoosh! Musta missed that joke

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Do you know who the Flock of Seagulls were? Its before your time.

 

[ollieholmes]

Can any of you people help me with photos or derial codes for any of the Hurricanes in Russia.

there're memoiries of a russian navy hurricane pilot, it's all in cyrillic but there're also some photos the hurricane II with soviet markings.
I had also somewhere a list of soviet air squadrons equipped with the hurricanes and tomahawks, mainly in the baltic, Murmansk and Leningrad area, but can't find it right now
Hopefully my English is still readable, haven't wrote since centuries

I think there is a russian translation to english somewhere on the web. Not having the fogiest notion of cyrillic, I don't know what that said. But the pics look familiar.

Your english is good enough to read. Decent to good.
