Having spent the past week on holiday in West Sussex, I had an opportunity to seek out an aeroplane I have wanted to see for a long time. Pole-mounted at the entrance to the former RNAS Ford airfield is ex-FRADU Hunter GA.11 WW654.
A former lead aeroplane for the FRADU Blue Herons display team (as cab 833), it was retired from flying in 1987, and was employed as a ground instructional airframe at Culdrose before demobbing in 1995.
The sun was in an awkward place for photographs unfortunately, so here are a few of the better efforts. Comments welcome.






Thanks for looking.
