Indeed they were!
I only saw the Hunter once more – at Acklington in 1962 as a DFLS visitor. The JP eluded me until Finningley 1994,

With a Hunter and JP on site, it’s good to see the horses were well guarded.:D

funny to think that 50 years later XM479 is still attending B of B events like Kemble back in Sept there!

Glad to be of help. She’s in the background of some of the other photos I’ve posted under Horse Guards Parade,

Wow Jim that’s fantastic thank you so much for uploading this photo, if you do have anymore I would love to see them, I hoping to get as much info and pics as I can from when XM479 was in RAF service.
Best Regards

I’ve scanned the rest of my photos from Horse Guards 1960 and will put them on a new thread.

Hunter F6 XF420 was another pre-unit issue aircraft on display with it on Horse Guards.

I bet Neil will be chuffed indeed…. 😉
Bit of history from this excellent website which indicates that it must have been floating around a bit prior to issue “in the summer of 1961” then:

Nice pic – I’ll just inform the owner. I’m sure he’d be interested!
