Tempest II/Hunter T.7 at North Weald

Whilst clearing out some old magazines from the garage I came across an image of Tempest II G-BSHW ‘in store’ at North Weald in one particular issue!
Taken inside a hangar, there was an RAF Chipmunk, possibly coded ‘M’ or ‘P’ on the fin, and a Hunter T.7 in RAF wraparound camouflage.
Unfortunately, despite my efforts to put it to one side for future reference I now cannot find it!

Based on my memory, can anyone suggest when the image was taken, and the i.d. of the Hunter?
Hunter T.7 XL573 was based at Weald between 1999 and 2001, but was this after the Tempest II’s time?

Thanks in advance,
Mark

David Martin , the Tempest owner went missing in Decmber 1992 – the Tempest would have arrived at North Weald circa mid to late 1993 from memory.
