Relics at Swansea

It must be four or five years that she has been sat there in what is a very exposed position at Fairwood. The sea air and winter weather can’t be doing any good at all.
Such a shame.

XE601 status has been raised on a couple of other forums recently and is now in Canada having been shipped over last year, along with the ex Swiss AF Apache Aviation mk58s that were on defence contracts. Not sure (can’t remember) if it will fly again..

I seem to recall people saying that XL612 and XE601 were both going to have a better future than staying with the Boscombe Down collection! Apparantly not in both cases!

Many thanks for the up to date photo. Such a shame that it has been sitting out there for so long now.

Taken on 10 July…..

Is the raspberry ripple Hunter still parked up there?

I remember seeing that radome years ago. Surprised to see it’s still there.
