Hawker Hunter Jet returns to Scotland

A Hawker Hunter jet's engine that was used in Pinochet's Chilean coup in the 1970s has made its way back to Scotland. After the coup, a set of engines were sent to the Rolls-Royce factory in East Kilbride for repairs, where the workers blacked it in protest. At some point, it was stolen from Rolls-Royce and returned to Chile, and now these filmmakers have located and returned it to be displayed in 2018.

There's a documentary called Nae Pasaran about the workers and their story, as well as what happened in Chile.

Have any of you heard about this story? There's a Kickstarter to finish the film and one of the rewards is a blade from the jet used in the film.

I can't post a link but it's Nae Pasaran dot com and it's on Facebook, too.
