After normal engine runs, he lined up and at 13.59 our Hurri Bomber took to the Essex skies once more and a full 63 years since serial number 5403 last flew and a sight not observed for some 67 years at North Weald aerodrome.
She flew a brief sortie of some 15 minutes, during which time Stu gently manoeuvred to probe the flight envelope and check out the handling characteristics. Her engine sounded crisp and smooth and the silhouette over the trees was unmistakably the most successful fighter of the Battle of Britain a Hurricane.

Paulo Emanuele, 1962-2009 from Things with Wings by Christopher Fotos
Earlier today Aviation Week & Space Technology's Guy Norris posted the sad news that Paulo Emanuele, general manager of Airliners.net, died in the crash of his two-seat SIAI-Marchetti SF-260 while attempting takeoff. At the time of this posting, the identity of the second passenger has not been released. I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that in a business meeting in New York today, I learned that some of my colleagues interacted with Emanuele when we were arranging our recently launched affilation with Emanuele's site, where we've started porting some of the news shown here at AviationWeek.com. Airliners.net currently has a beautiful tribute page up in his honor and by every account, there and here, he was a delightful man who lived well. Sympathy to his loved ones, and prayers for him.
