😀 All the best to Nigel and Jacqui from me 😀

See you both at Kemble next year…. 😉

😮 I may have meant to type Lyneham – can’t remember where the Kemble reference was routed into now …… it’s an age thing 😀

Amazing to see Hunters back in military service anywhere…. The recent contract flying here in the UK was testament to the uses that can be found for what is still a very capable albeit slightly older airframe. Now it appears that Lebanon has the same way of thinking. Back in the 70’s the RAF thought the same whilst they still had stocks of useable airframes, and they made good weapons trainers. Naval use as ‘mock missiles’ was another versatility. You just can’t keep a good stable airframe down when you’re looking for something relatively simple to operate, and something as versatile as the Hawker Hunter 😀

Not that I’m biased in any way of course….. :diablo:

Lovely shots btw.

Brilliant…. stunning rare shots. Thank you for posting them.

Also a couple of wheels, one behind the other

That’s what was meant…lol Assembly as in parts forming an assembly :diablo:

Just like the photo added from Bristol but ours are in a fetching shade of green…

Looking at various photos online, including this one from 1975 it looks like they had no gun sight fitted. I’m familiar with how this view angle should show a gunsight if fitted – XF382 has it’s in place and it is very obvious from this same angle.

Also this GA 11 image shows how it looks from the inside

I was once told that you couldn’t buy or sell armaments or weaponry on EBAY – anyone know if that is that correct? :confused:

Just reading the ‘spec’ and this has been stripped of all military items like these – so it’s been ‘civilianised’ or so it reads…

I’m entirely unconvinced that these are genuine items – unless the Russians are that desperate that they use a seller registered in the UK????

Also, the ad’s use stock pics of this type, so you have no idea which one you’re bidding on – yeah well I won’t be bidding…. :dev2:
