I agree that it is great to resurrect some old threads. Although not directly related to 20 Sqd or Hunters, I was pleased to see Postfade's picture of the TT Meteor WA880. I used to work in Singapore (1987-1990) and one of my minor pleasures was to go to see the four preserved aircraft on Sentosa Island. WA880 was there painted overall silver with yellow undersides, but no markings. It went to the Queensland museum in 1989 along with Sea Vixen XJ490 and Hunter XF311. The C-47 was sadly broken up on the spot, although I think its props went to Queensland. As far as I have been able to trace it, it was 43-48886.
