It's a single seat Hunter with a 1 (F) Squadron crest on the side. So... as far as I can tell, it looks like an FGA9 to me.
The only photo I have of aircrew, has his back to the camera, but leg restraint straps on, so I think he will be the hunter driver involved.
The aircraft certainly should have been repairable, a little T-Cut and polish, and some paint, and some filler.
I just wanted to share the pictures with people who were there, before making them public. I also wanted to know a bit more about the reason for the Hunter being there, at that time.
I only have two prints here, dog eared and showing signs of having been printed in 1969, so understandably not in great condition. I hope to obtain boxes of old negatives in the coming weeks, which might produce better images from my brother's time at Waddington and El Adem.
