She’s actually a FGA.4, not 6. She was never fitted with the uprated engine, unlike WV908.

All the more reason to get her under cover (when space permits).
She must be one of only two Mk.4s left extant alongside WV903, unless you know different Lee?

That is indeed Sea Hawk FGA.6 WV911 in the background….

It’ll never fly again as the paperwork has gone missing, which is a real shame as it was at one point a potential flier.

Cliff, all were taken outside the fence at Yeovilton, and were all shot at between 200mm and 250mm lens focal length on a Canon D60.
