At 0900 today G-BWGL took to the skies in Leeuwarden and landed back after its first flight since the grounding of Hunters.
Well done Horizon Aircraft and DHHF that have spent hundreds of hours getting to this point. G-KAXF will be carrying out its test flight this afternoon and then both aircraft will be returning to the UK for deep maintenance

Wonderful news! Hopefully we might be able to see these wonderful aircraft creeping back. It must have been an expensive couple of years for Hunter owners with money-eating aircraft sat around producing hangarage fees and not earning anything – so this perseverance is much appreciated!

Many thanks for this “heads up”! :eagerness:
It seems both Dutch Hawker Hunters were flying together this Friday afternoon.

Fantastic. Can’t wait to see hunters again soon. Hopefully G-FFOX will be returning from Sweden(?) soon.

Great news. The Hunter has been much-missed.
