This Hunter made its first flight 16-Dec-1955 as XF311 of the Royal Air Force, mainly serving with squadrons in Germany. In Aug-1962 it went into storage. In Mar-1963 it went to the Royal Navy as an instructional airframe with serial A2566. It was struck off charge in Aug-1967. In Jan-1970 it went via Hawker Siddeley Aviation to the Singapore Air Force Technical College as SAF-TECH-11. It later went on display at Sentosa until shipped to the Queensland Air Museum at Caloundra, Australia in March 1989, where it was repainted again as RAF XF311.
