When I first became a Flight Simmer about 6 months ago my very first non default/downloaded aircraft was this excellent Hawker Hurricane from the Avsim Library. I treasured that plane like no other, printed the excellent manual in colour and think I even memorized it. Now that I have the Real Air Spitfire I would love to get the Hurricane again. My former installation is gone now with my old computer and I can't find the file here anywhere in the Library despite many searches.Does anyone know if and where it can be found? I think it was even on the Library's "Hot Files" list for many months.Also as an aside has anyone ever seen a payware or freeware version of the prototype 60s US SAC bomber, the Valkrie (SP?)? I would like to have it if for no other reason than I think it was the world's largest ever piece of stainless steel.

It is still in the file area at Flight Sim dot com.Don't know why it isn't here any more. I have all the Hurricane models and they are excellently done by one of the best.When you find The Hurricane, you may also want to download his Stearman. A great bi-wing model for some very basic but fun flying.

Oh great Robert, thank you. Funny how your first real/non default plane is such a treasure. When I first fired that plane up I was totally gaga for a week. Having seen a quite a few aircraft add ons since then, and lots of payware that's inferior to the Hurricane, I have to say that's a real beauty as well as being properly documented. I think I might just go for the Stearman too. Thanks again.

Well they could be withdrawn from the libraries. I was looking for the Stearman the other day and I couldn't find it either on avsim.com or flightsim.com.But rest assured the Tin Opener and the Stearman can be found at Sim-Outhouse.
