HUNTER F6 XG210 What a difference a year makes!

On my customary route between Beck Row and Lakenheath I pass this old girl regularly, and she has faded gradualy. But no more, here are some before and after shots.











Some purists may spot non standard serial font and so far no stencelling, but still a great effort at no small expence to the owner. Good to see, cheers, Stig.

That does indeed look very smart!

Never got round to going to see it, would love to at some point.

Just mentioned this to my dad, he's positive I've seen it, I don't think I have, looks very nice now, incorrect serial typeface (*Dons anorak*) or not

Well done to the owner for painting it - So many aircraft are bought then left to rot

i can remember seeing this from the bus going to mildenhall airshow back in the day! but havent seen it since where abouts is it?

Strangely enough its on the Beck Row to Lakenheath Road, between Beck Row and Undley.
Its right by the gate you can't miss it!

Lovely to see a Hunter being looked after.

@kevinstokes10 - do you know when she was used by BAe? I have a feeling that she was sent to Wittering 1974ish for a service and the airframe side was handled by BAe personnel but the engine by RAF - me, if it's the same aircraft!
