The real C-GCWH was destroyed in a hangar fire at Hamilton, ON.

Aircraft in the colours of the Royal Canadian Air Force, photo taken at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. It's a replica of the real Hurricane that was destroyed in a hangar fire in early 1993.

Delivered to the RCAF in 1942 (5377), this Hurricane was struck off strength in 1946. Stored on a Portage la Prairie, Manitoba farm, the aircraft was rebuilt by Bob Diemert from 1964 - 1968. After participating in the movie "Battle of Britain", the fighter remained in the UK and was part of the Strathallan Collection from 1969-1984. Acquired by the Canadian Warplane Heritage, it was airlifted by Canadian Air Force C-130 Hercules in May 1984 to be a prominent part of their collection. Unfortunately the Hurricane was lost with four other aircraft on February 15, 1993 when a hangar caught fire.
