Very nice classic auto.

Is that a Hunter being towed out of the Hangar? Did my engineering training on them in the RAF!

I remember seeing one in a scrap yard near me many years ago. :frowning:

Yes.

And me too.

It’s Hunter XG194 at Flying Station (Formerly RAF) Wattisham, painted in the “Black Arrows” scheme that it wore as the lead aircraft in the world record loop of 22 Hunters.

I think we can agree that it’s quite different to the original design!

Went over to Shuttleworth today, can’t remember the last time I had such nice weather for a show.

Proper daylight makes this photo lark waaaaayy less tricky!

The Swordfish flew over our house this morning. Must have been on its way to Old Warden.

It’s a long way to Yeovilton in it. No wonder the fellah is surrendering…

I’ve seen the Shuttleworth Comet dozens of times and have hundreds of pics, so she’s hardly a novelty but, well, come on…

Quite possibly the most beautiful and graceful aeroplane ever built.

Nice to see a Piston Provost and a Jet Provost flying at the same venue, not a huge amount of aero development going on here was there…?!
