The Return of the Hurricane

[Dave Homewood]

Has anybody here seen the DVD called "The Return of the Hurricane"? It's a film about the restoration of Sir Tim Wallis's Hurricane P3351.

I had never heard of this till just now when i found it on the NZ Fighter Pilots Museum marketing website

nzfpm.marketeer.co.nz/product.pasp?emGUID=9FB6E51CBA9E49F2B7112E08B1754763!2754!3857&categoryid=&productid=243

The write up says:
"The story of the restoration of Hawker Hurricane P3351, a warplane with unique links to New Zealand pilots who flew it during WWII.

Featuring unique footage of this veteran of the Battle of France, the Battle of Britain and the airwar in Russia.

Salvaged from a Russian swamp, there followed six years of extraordinary engineering accomplishments by craftsmen around the world before Hurricane P3351 flew again in January 2000.

Available in PAL format only

NZD$44.96"

I was wondering, has anyone seen it? is it good? Worth buying?

I got it on video a few years back, it is a good watch, covers the restoration and has some nice footage of Keith flying P3351 to Wanaka.

Thanks for that. I will have to have a think about purchasing it.
