It’s the Hawker Hunter aviation Buccaneer S2B G-HHAA/XX885. It has been approved for flight on the UK civil register, the first aircraft in the ‘complex’ category to do so.

HHA say’ We are currently considering very hard whether to fly the Buccaneer at some UK airshows next year. It all depends what demand would be like and the likely revenue prospects for the aircraft, since as you can imagine, it is exceedingly expensive to operate. The actual display costs would have to be borne by the air display organisers.

So if you want to see the Buccaneer fly at UK airshows, lobby the various airshow organisers. ‘

There was the thread on here a few weeks ago, try searching the site for it.
