We would like to take this opportunity and utilize this space to gratefully acknowledge those
individuals and businesses that have graciously contributed … their advice … their expertise  … their
no longer needed but still useful, tangible items … and their invaluable guidance …
toward our efforts to see this piece of World War II Aircraft history, restored to its former flying
condition once again!

These kind people have contributed:

~
Authentic Hawker Hurricane parts they no longer needed, or
~ parts we could use for patterns to make new, replacement parts …
~ Detailed technical advice unavailable in manuals and drawings …
~ Professional evaluations on the materials used for the restoration …
~ Necessary materials to actually perform the restoration itself …
~ Other specialty needs we have encountered in the restoration …
~ Money ... always needed for projects, no matter what size!

We are especially grateful to:

Oleg Leyko                                          Moscow, Russia
Oleg took time to research records in Russia in order to find photographs, aircraft records, battle
information, and even assisted us in the more arduous task of getting necessary documents from
Russia, in order to register AM 274 in the United States ...

Andrey Kopytkov                                Murmansk, Russia
Andrey and his group Podnodvik discovered the wreckage of the Hawker Hurricane AM 274, and
has kindly sent us more details of the actual salvage operation as well as the other photos used on
this site
(on the History pages) so that we might be able to provide a more complete history for this
particular aircraft.
