I think this may be a hoax. There is no way that 372 is worth as much money as is being asked for here. Also, the guys at Delta know nothing about it. The only Hunter that Delta look after that is for sale is VETA (unfortunately!)

As regards 577, mechanically, she’s pretty much complete. Currently awaiting the avionics guys to finish (Yawn!) so that the cockpit can be completed. Hopefully will fly before the Kemble Airday:confused:

Phantom II

SHAR can carry a max of 4 AMRAAAM, 2 on outboard pylons, 2 on the gun stations. Inboard pylons are not wired for AMRAAM carriage

Checheno

The first pic you posted I believe has twin rail launchers for AIM-9L. The second pic, as already stated is a GR7 (of the SAOEU at Boscombe) And no, Sea Harrier only has 2 underwing pylons on each side. AV-8Bs have 3, GR7s and T10s have 4.

Actually, there are private Hawks about. BAE SYSTEMS own 2 demontrator aircraft (ZJ100 and HNDA) and 5 Mk53 aircraft. However, they are not on the civil register but operated under COMA (company owned military aircaft), under the auspices of D Flying.

The FRADU jets are operated by civil operators, although I think they are still MOD property. (same goes for the flying training Hawks at Valley)

Surely the best memorial to all of these aircraft, and the men who may have fought or died in them, is to have the aircraft up in the air where future generations can really see and appreciate them! If the only way to do that is by getting commercial sponsorship, and any associated paint scheme that goes with it, then so be it!

And I think Miss Demeanor and the Vixen look bloomin’ gorgeous. But it is still only personal opinion.
