Built as an F.4 but never went into RAF service as such, instead going to Fairey Aviation for use as a test-bed for the Skyflash missile. Declared surplus in 1958, the aircraft returned to Hawker and was one of six converted to T.7 standard, and first flew as such 24 April 1959 with Frank Bullen at the controls. For a full history look at the excellent FRADU Hunters website. Photo taken from ATC.
