This beautiful Hunter was photographed taxying in at Exeter after a three-ship Team Viper sortie. First flown on the 7th October 1958, she was delivered to 65(F) Squadron the following month. She also operated with the RAF Wattisham Station Flight and was involved in a tragic incident when a crew member was killed after his ejection seat detached during a slow roll ejecting him without warning. She later saw service with 4 FTS and finally 16 Squadron. After military service she was repainted in this very attractive civilian scheme and was initially based at Bournemouth. She's now based at Exeter under the expert care of Hunter Flying Ltd.
