I was at Cardiff airport today listening to the scanner and heard an aircraft requesting a missed approach on runway 12, using the call sign "Hunter". I thought for a second it could be the above mentioned aircraft, then dismissed it. Then to my suprise a gleaming black Hawker hunter approached and descended to about 50' maybe less and waved his wings, then did a sharp climbout incorporating a full roll. They also relayed a msg to him saying they had found his parachute on the runway at another airport, but can't for the life of me remember where they said.

Anyone have any info or links to the above aircraft?
