Wow, C-GZIC! Now I’m even more pleased to have seen this at Quebec City last summer. Thanks to a maintenance chap with a stepladder in the box of his truck, I got a few pix of ZIC at Lesage Airport (along with two disassembled Hunters, one of them ex-CWH). Had not heard ZIC was bound for France. Who’s the operator there?

C-GZIC and her sister ship have been in France since last summer, Operated and maintaine by Hunter Flying Club for NL
Spotted today twice !! (ie 2 flights) red/white and blue hunter (XE601) with a 380knots pass on the last one
I do like good one
That,s strange. It still had an Avpin starter when I did the last annual servicing!!:rolleyes:
I throught she’d been changed years ago
I know the two hha’s at Bournemouth and 601 are still Avpin but i throught 515 had been changed

I think you will find that XF515 has a full gun pack and barrells.No electric start so full Avpin effects and full blue note!:)
no its got elec start not Avpin
The Mark 68 is a twin-gun job, so I wonder if that makes a difference with the T-birds? Can’t explain G-VETA though, unless the boys at Exeter have been drilling holes in strategic places so it makes nice noises!:D
G-VETA has modified bleed vales on the engine and hence the “blue note” its not really a blue note in the sense as a MK6 or 9
I had a friend who flow Lightning’s in the RAF On one tanking he took more fuel than what a Lightning can carry ie 25,000lbs taken for a jet that carrys 20,000lb of fuel ie he burnt 5,000lb of fuel tanking try that lol
That would be two Hunters, two Jaguars and a C-130. at Thumriat.
There’s another clip of this ‘passing out’ formation flypast when they came back and flew between the radio masts.

just watched it again i stand corrected 2+2+1
