Hawker Hunter XX467 - a photo on Flickriver

            Built as T.7 XL605 in 1958, she served with 92 Squadron - the Blue Diamonds - leading the team. Also serving with 66 Squadron and 229 OCU, in 1966 she was returned to Hawkers and converted to unofficial 'T.70' spec and loaned to the Royal Saudi Air Force for jet conversion training. Presented to the Royal Jordanian Air Force in 1968, she came home in 1974 having been swapped for an ex-RAF FR.10. Refurbished at Dunsfold, she returned to the RAF under a new serial - XX467 - and served with 229 OCU and the TWU, retiring to ground duties in 1983. Sold in 1997 to the current owner, a full restoration to airworthy condition was begun by Delta Jets at Kemble. However this proved to be more protracted than the owner expected and the aircraft was placed into storage before moving by road to Exeter. The restoration gradually continued after further storage but work once again halted and she has now been sold to Dave Thomas and moved to Bruntingthorpe. Dave has reassembled her and a restoration to taxiing condition is continuing. Aircraft now on display at Newark air museum
