E-419 first flew on 24 April 1956 and served with the Royal Danish AIr Force, first with 724 Squadron at Aalborg. In was subsequently based at Karup and then Skyrdstrup. It was struck off charge on 21 November 1973 and purchased by Hawker Siddeley in April 1976, with a view to rebuild for resale. When plans to rebuild this and other former Danish Hunters were dropped, the aircraft was donated to the North East Aircraft Museum and moved there on 9 February 1977. It has since been refurbished and is now displayed under cover. This photo is copyright © Fergal Goodman, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
