Just to say that GA11 WT711 is the ONLY GA11 that was never fitted with a Harley Light but retained its solid nose cone throughout for some reason!!

BIG THANKS to all those folks out there showing an interest in WT711 as she is up for sale at the moment …

Unfortunately I have since received photographic proof that this fact is incorrect. WT711 did indeed get the Harley light treatment in the early 1970s.
It would appear that the solid nosecone was fitted only after it had been moved, and also recoded to 833, for ground instructional use at RNAS Culdrose.
This would certainly tie in with the School of Aircraft Handling’s other GA.11s of the time; WT804/831, XE668/832, “WW654″/834 and WV267/836.
The FRADU Hunter site should soon be updated with this info.

One hopes she finds a good home 🙂
