Photo Comment

A unique Hunter which served as one of the RNAF's 20 T.7s (the only one in camouflage) between 1959 and 1965 when it joined the NLR for experimental work. Last flight 22nd January 1980; unfortunately plans to keep it in flyable condition failed and it was scrapped. The cockpit was saved along with the wings, the latter now in a composite airframe at Long Marston made up from about six different aircraft but based upon XJ714
