This is quite an interesting Hunter for a number of reasons. It was built as a Hunter Mk.51 for the Royal Danish Air Force where it served between 1956-1974. Bought back by Hawker Siddeley Aviation in 1976 [along with a number of other ex Danish Hunters] they failed to find buyers and were eventually sold off to various places for static display. This particular aircraft being painted in false RAF marks and being displayed at Brawdy as XF979 before being moved to RAF Cranwell for display and then RAF Sealand where it was repainted as WT720. After that base closure it was displayed at North Scarle until being acquired by the present owner and being restored and painted in Royal Iraqi Air Force colours with serial '349' to represent a Hunter FGA.79 and placed outside the Company he owns in Chineham. The aircraft is a memorial to his late father who flew Hunters with 6Sqn RIAF.
