-I wonder if they dealt with the corroded spar issue.
In Canada the aircraft was restricted from doing aerobatics because of that issue

-I seem to remember, that there was an issue with the outer wings as well. They were new build wings, certified to 50% of the stress limit.
, This Hurricane had been restored prior to Hawker Restorations setting up the center section production . This is where I assume the issue with the center section is(was).
There were also issues with the cooling systems.
There was an interesting article in the old Warbirds Worldwide magazine about the initial flight testing of this aircraft after its restoration by the Charles Church Group.
