Did I just see a Hurricane flying in fairly tight formation with a smaller prop plane heading north ish just NE of Yate (10 miles north of Bristol)? They were off in the distance but the silhouette certainly looked Hurricane-like.

Could it be the Finnish marked Hurricane & Harvard?

Possibly. Too far away to hear their dulcit tones (so couldn't listen for the lovely sound of a Merlin ) let alone spot the markings!
Is a Harvard smaller than a Hurricane? The other one was quite a bit smaller.

I'm told the Finnish Hurricane is now longer Finnish and is now back in Rhodesian colours.

I'm afraid it was too far away to pick out the air force! Why Rhodesia I wonder? Why Finland too? Is it privately owned and the owner has a connection? Or just likes the colours?

I can imagine the conversation:
"but dear, you know I've always wanted my own warbird"
"ok ok you can have it on two conditions..."
