Before becoming a rather special warbird, this Hunter was painted into this special scheme to honour the retirement of Fliegerstaffel 15's Commander. It was done in secret so that he was rather surprised when he walked out to the aircraft for the last time (story related to me by one of the museum attendants). It is now undergoing restoration at this super museum. This photo is copyright © Alastair T. Gardiner, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
