I recently acquired a de-commisioned Hunter airframe, and installed it on the front lawn as a suprise Valentines present to my wife. She has not shared my enthusiasm, and demanded it be moved without delay. I have tried to shift it round to the back garden, but now it is stuck, and unfortunately the paint has got scratched in one or two places. I think I am going to need a bit of help here!

[b]6/7/1979 Hunter F6 XG197, 1TWU. Abandoned over sea(!) following engine failure – ejected.[/b]
(From British Military Aircraft Accidents – The Last 25 Years by David Oliver, Ian Allan [1990]. Not very comprehensive at all, really…! My copy even has updates and numerous additions in the sky parts of the photos.)
Could sit a garden gnome on the fin, I suppose!

LOL – Might give your green wheelie bin men a bit of a problem when visiting your place.
