Former Royal Air Force Hunter T7 XM118 (but not taken on charge as such), and Royal Netherlands Air Force N-312 (delivered on 21 January 1959). The Hunter was stricken by the KLu in July 1968 and returned to Hawker Siddeley Aviation Ltd. It was converted to Hunter T77A, became G-9-288, and was delivered to the Abu Dhabi Army Air on 12 May 1970. It is seen here getting attention of maintenance wearing shorts only at a apparently hot platform! The aircraft was later sold to Somalia as CC.701 and was possibly last seen on the dump of Hageisa air base (Somalia) in February 1993.
