Hawker Hunter WW654

This Hunter had a fairly varied service life including 5 years with the display team the Blue Herons. It was built in the 1950s and withdrawn from service in 1993 being sold by tender and ending up in a Portsmouth scrap yard. However 1n 1998 it was sold privately and after some refurbishment was mounted on a pole outside former Royal Naval Air Station at Ford. It had a full repaint 20 years ago but is now looking a little faded as I saw today. A full history is here.
