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 original V6864, a Mk 1, is said to have been involved in a midair collision with Avro Manchester I R5792 and crashed near RAF Sutton Bridge on November 24th 1941. The aircraft was written off.

The regular pilot was Plt. Off. Bob Stanford Tuck. The Hurricane did operate in Burma but not in the Mediterranean Area of Operation.
