All this talk of Hunter T.7s takes me back to 1953 - 1955 when I was at Biggin and saw 41 Sqn convert from Meteor F.8s to Hunter F.5s.
Oddly when 41 had their Meteor 8s they had a Vampire T.11 as a trainer, but why? and why not a Meteor T.7?
Herewith with two photos of what 41 were flying until they converted to Hunters. Photos from my early trials of colour (transparency) film and taken from Biggin's old control tower which was alongside the Westerham Road.
