In 1941, the British Government presented a Hawker Hurricane Mk I fitted with tropical equipment to Australia.
The RAAF serial A60-1 was allocated, but while on RAAF Charge, the aircraft retained its RAF number, V7476.
After it was erected at No 1 Aircraft Depot in August 1941 it joined Central Flying School (CFS) on 6 September 1941, where it was used for familiarisation flights and war-loan demonstrations.
In mid-1942, the Hurricane was transferred to No 2 Communication Flight and, while at Laverton, it was used for testing an anti-"G" suit designed by Professor Cotton, of Melbourne University.
Between 1943 and 1946, the Hurricane operated mainly with No 1 Communication Unit and Central Flying School, except for a month with No 2 Operational Training Unit.
In 1946, the Hurricane, now in an overall silver finish, was transferred to Point Cook, where it remained in a disposal park until sold on 27 January 1951.
