A Hawker Hunter?
Yesterday evening ~17:00 hrs I was driving south on the A1 past the village of Reston, Scottish Borders. Two aircraft crossed in front of me at about maybe 600 or 700ft altitude, flying in a roughly N to S direction. The nearest of the two aircraft looked like a Hawker Hunter, didn't get a close look at the other one.
I'm pretty certain it was a Hunter, as I used to play rugby on a pitch near the end of R28 at Lossie in the early 1970's, over the switch period between HMS Fulmar/RAF Lossie. Often saw Hunters both with and without the orange training markings in those days.
Are there any Hunters still flying, or do any NATO Air Forces fly a lookalike, or should I consult an optician/head doctor?
Thanks folks.
