Inside one of the workshops at the now-closed No.1 School of Technical Training, RAF Halton. This Hunter has the white/yellow/black markings of its final active service unit, 71 squadron, which retired its Hunters many years before, in 1957, and which has never been reformed. WT746 was first used for ground instruction at St.Athan in 1962, and was transferred to Halton in 1977. It still exists in 2020, preserved at Dumfries and Galloway Aviation Museum, Scotland.
