This was another day out at Hawker Restorations on 17th July 2009, courtesy of our President and host, Mr. Tony Ditheridge. An increased number of Camm Followers attended and enjoyed a fascinating visit talking in general and inspecting the two Hurricanes currently in build. Many questions were asked and many interesting answers given.
