Dare I suggest Biggin Hill? Or are both Kenley and Biggin a shambles again, and the rest not much better?

Hurricane IIb AM274, not on your list, has recently been sold from the USA to the Vormozeele collection in Belgium where restoration will continue.

Hurricane Ib (Z5053) isn't currently registered and was last reported stored, pending restoration. You also have AE977 on the list in both the USA and the UK.
