    I hope they have a good 2005 season with the aircraft!

    It is still housed at Exeter Airport, and is still ‘airworthy’ to my knowledge.

    Dutchy,

    Many, many thanks. The histories are both conclusive.

    Thee reason for the request is that I am trying to research the history of Hawker Hunter T.66B ‘801’.
    Most of the information that I had was either very sketchy, and as a result, both Dutch jets could have been used in ‘801’.

    Your information will be put to good use!

    All the best, Mark

    That’s it Mike. Coded ‘ETS’ and with the classic 1980s 899NAS emblem on the tail 🙂

    He’s bought a good quality airframe I should think.
    If it is the one I think it is, it’s dressed up like a Sea Harrier 🙂

    Is G-VETA in external storage? Shame if it is, it always looks special in the all-black colour scheme.

    No, not at all. G-VETA is very active as far as I’m aware.

    Nice to see 806NAS colours on the airframe 🙂

    Sadly I haven’t been able to locate any colour photos of 2FTS machines.
    B/W ones are just as scarce I’m afraid.

    I would love to see more of your JP photo collection though ‘old eagle’ 🙂

    I’m pretty sure DHXX is still at Hurn in open storage.
    The Source hangar is now full of small passenger aircraft.

    Dave,

    Could you see if there are any plans for the Hunter GA11 WV382?

    The OFMC Fury did indeed go to South Africa.
    I think she’s in a Korean War scheme now.

    RNHF example only comes out to play for very special airshows

    Don’t quite think that is fair comment, since VR930 hasn’t got a full season under her belt yet!
    It will no doubt get around to more shows this coming year.

    The Bradshaw Fury is housed at Hurn, and occasionally takes to the air.
    Last year there were rumours that John B was planning to revalidate his DA.
    Time will tell if this is true (I hope so, naturally :))

    What on earth has a Concorde got to do with the Fleet Air Arm? It seems very out of place (unless someone can come up with pictures of Concordes operating off carriers??

    What is the blue pointy jet under the Concorde next to the sharp, pointy Huntery-looking thingy? Is it a Mirage?

    The Concorde is on loan from the Science Museum, and was the centrepiece of a ‘Concorde’ exhibition at Yeovilton.
    She’s now been absorbed into the new ‘Milestones of Flight’ display.

    The pointy Huntery-looking thingy is exactly that – Hunter T.8M XL580.
