Well, as you lot have strayed off topic, hopefully you will allow me to ask a question.
I was at the Shoreham Airshow last Saturday (CAVOK, +68F – perfect day for it). One of the most impressive displays was from a Hunter painted in a really leary colour scheme. I could only hear part of the commentry, but I thought ‘late model’ and ‘bigger engine’ was mentioned. It certainly flew like no Hunter I’ve seen before – is this an airshow special or in the same spec as when it was in service? Must have been a lot of fun to fly.
