Yes, as a cockpit project, it looks like a good one. All the panels are there, and all the consoles. It even has a control column!

If you have any doubts, look at Marks website – he had to cut his into many pieces!

And my F.4 had been attacked with an angle grinder so huge parts of the internal structure, brackets, platforms etc had been cut out. You’d be hard pressed to tell now 😀 . Think empty cockpit shell, and you will have a pretty good idea of how mine was.

For those of us who are dedicated in bringing our projects back from the dead, that cockpit is more complete than many offered in the past (apart from those who managed to acquire easy ‘clean up’ projects).

I would have loved to purchase to go alongside my F.4, but I don’t have the luxury of £1600 to spare plus the costs of scrapping the fuse and clearing the site, and I note that no one else from the forum did either (where were all the ‘I’m interested in the Humbrol Hunter’ lot?). As a ‘spares donkey’ it would address many of the difficulties quite a number of us Hunter restorers are facing in getting parts – most of us are quite creative with restoring corroded parts and prefer original than locally made.

At least this one is not being sunk to help pollute a lake somewhere. One can hope that when the owners have finished with it, then it may be made available for one of the Hunter fanatics to take on.
