The Sea Hurricane was a special case; it was used on CAM ships and could not be recovered. The pilot would either parachute out or ditch when he ran out of fuel, as CAM ships had no way of accepting the aeroplane back for landing.

As such, both engine and airframe life were expected to be no more than one sortie, and it was therefore perfectly reasonable to give them a Viking funeral.
