vet-new

Historic Aircraft Collection was formed in 1985 by Guy Black and Angus Spencer-Nairn to restore and operate Spitfire Mk. IX TE566. Alongside this major project, two other Spitfires were recovered from gate guardian roles in Belgium. Spitfire IX MK912 in exchange for a Bristol Fighter and Spitfire XIV RN201 in exchange for a Fairy Battle. Both of these were subsequently sold and have now been restored by Historic Flying.

HAC now operates its fleet of Hawker fighters from Old Warden. Consisting of Hawker Fury I K5674, Hawker Nimrod II K3661 and Hawker Hurricane G-HURI for the Polish Heritage Flight, HAC is fulfilling its ambition of restoring and operating some very special vintage piston engined military aircraft. 

Runway25 are delighted to partner with the Historic Aircraft Collection.
