Ladies and Gents.
I haven't been taking my daily dose of PPRuNe recently, but I don't think the is has been asked before:
There is this all silver Hawker Hunter on a pole in Woking Town Centre, no Markings, no plaque. Just wondered: Why?
If it was covered in an Advertising Logo, or had a plaque I could see the point, but currently it looks like a piece of Civic Art

This was taken by a friend of mine who was in Woking to take pictures of the H.G.Wells War of the Worlds Art also located in the Town Centre.
Update:
I received email notification that 'spekesoftly' had replied to this post, but when I looked on the forum it have been removed?
From the clues in the email I Googled a lot more successfully than last attempt and am now aware the Aircraft has been on its pole for a long time, is owned by the Council and appears to be considered a piece of civic art. The AIrcraft is a T7 and 'spekesoftly' advised it was the last new build T7 RAF Serial XL623.
