Hurricanes can cross the equator. V7476 was shipped from the United Kingdom to Australia in 1941, and South Africa also used Hurricanes.
Old fashioned cable-activated control surfaces aren’t susceptible to “fly by wire” bugs. There have been numerous reports that early versions of the control software for the F-16 (found in simulation and fixed before the first flight) would roll the plane through 180 degrees when crossing the equator. There may be planes that can’t cross the equator, but the Hurricane isn’t among them.
