I bought XL573 today. Although she has not flown for 4 years I am confident that Hunter Flying will have her ready for the 60th anniversary display at Kemble this year! Fingers crossed!!!!
Congratulations on your purchase, Mark! Great to know that this wonderful old lady will soon be back in the air again.
Maybe some photos as the restoration progresses? I do hope you'll use a representative military colour scheme and not some flying drinks can abortion.
I'm sure that you'll enjoy flying her as much as everyone else who's flown her before you will have done over the years.
