According to the Hunter teams website, they have a Bucc fully serviceable and ready to fly should a contract become available:
" XX885 is currently in storage at HHA’s RAF Scampton facility undergoing regular anti-det maintenance and custodial ground runs. The aircraft, it’s systems and spares are maintained in such a condition that it can readily be reactivated to flight status should a contractual tasking arise which requires the performance & flight envelope of the Buccaneer platform.

They also have an ex-GAF Su-22 kept in the same state.
And they did acquire an ex-GAF F-4 Phantom as well when the GAF retired the F-4 (plus a second aircraft as a spares ship)

Which will never get a contract providing Adversary Support in the UK. They have 3 single seat mk58s on the MAR despite holding no direct contracts direct with MOD, all their other mk58s are in storage outside the UK. See the 15 Sept 17 reply to the FOI on What Do They Know entitled Ministry of Defence Contracts with Hawker Hunter Aviation Ltd. A shiny new Arctic Splinter paint job at RIAT 18, and talking to Thales still shows that Potulski and Hargreaves continue to try and polish a turd having failed to get through PQQ whilst teamed with Boeing.

Leaving aside the thread drift associated with your post above, I consider that your comments are bordering on being defamatory and wholly unjustified in naming individuals from a company with whom I surmise you have some grievance. If your true identity was to be known by those reading this thread them I suspect that they would wish to have no professional dealings with you or any company with whom you may bear any influence.
