XL601 at Boscombe. One of the first FGA9s. Took it to 50,000' and used to tear around Salisbury Plain at 100'. Great for ACM as long as you loosened your straps. Then there was the Mk8 that spat blades out of the sides and flared up like a suicide bomber-Mk 4 seat let down worked but not so good for the back. I'm one of the few to transition from Tornado to the Hunter-rather different and a great aircraft.
