My latest addition, The Hawker Hunter!

Hello Folks, Here are some photo's of my newest addition!
This large Hunter is scheduled for ground , and flight work-ups this week. My friend, Mr Gary Jones, will be assisting me with the LTMA-1 certification. With all this complete and behind us, we plan on the public debut at the Tiger meet, SC in April, then First In Flight afterwords!
This particular Hunter served in Jordan 1963-1967! The aircraft was given joint squadron dress due to the merging of the No 8, and No 43 units. Thus the reason for the two distinctive tail markings as carry-overs post merging!
Was flown by a young RAF Flt Lt Nigel Harrignton at the Kormaskor RAF Station field Aden, near the Persian Gulf.
Sadly this beautiful classic aircraft was lost during a night training sortie in 1967!
