Sold to the Singaporean Air Force coded as 526. Over the years of service the aircraft was extensively upgraded and modified in Singapore and was eventually retired and sold to Geoff Moesker along with another 20 remaining Hunters in 1995. Arrived at Caboolture airfield, Queensland, on 2 September 2014, Geoff is intending to completely restore the aircraft in its demonstrator colors of Sand and Brown upper surfaces and azure blue lower surfaces along with civil registration markings G-BABM.

This aircraft was built as Hunter F.4 WV331 and delivered to the RAF in July 1955 and was retired to RAF Halton as a ground instructional airframe in November 1962. It was sold back to Hawkers in 1971, converted to an F.74A for the Republic of Singapore Air Force with the serial 543 and delivered to them in August 1973. When the RSAF retired their Hunters in 1992 it was sold to an Australian dealer and registered VH-JGP and painted to depict a Hunter that flew with the Rhodesian Air Force.
