This Hunter T68 was built in 1975 with parts from RAF Hunter F4s WV398 and XE702 and with new parts. It was struck of charge on 16 December 1994 at Emmen air base. After storage at Buochs (1995-1997) and Raron (1997-2001), it was transported to the Musée de l'Aviation Militaire de Payerne where it was restored to flying condition. It first flew again in May 2004 under registration HB-RVW and made its last flight on 3 October 2014. Since then, it is preserved here, still carrying its civil registration.
