Hi FBF

I flew Metoers during training and subsequently Hunters and though I recognised the serials you mentioned, alas I had not flown any of them.
However, Hunter F4 XF311 was delivered 10 January 1956 to No 5 MU, subsequently ended up with No 130(F) Sqn ('V'); it then became Ground Instructional Airframe (GIA) A2566 with(?) HMS Condor, Arbroath. Transferred as GIA to Singapore 31 January 1970. Information courtesy of "Hawker Hunter - Biography of a Thoroughbred" by Francis K Mason.
Hope this helps.
