Five a day - Part 60

A few non-standard Hunter twin-sticks today. No shortage of these airframes up here once upon a time between the RAF and the RN/FRADU. Pics 1 and 2 are the same airframe taken some time apart. The last two were the only ones of these I photographed at Lossie, although I believe they were based at Brawdy or Chivenor at the time (but, as usual, I stand by to be corrected on that).

Lovely elegant curves of the Hunter.

Thanks for sharing these, another classic type sadly missed. I never saw any of the Singaporean aircraft unfortunately.

[Canberra TT.18]

Superb.

As mentioned before the best looking jet (ever).

Like a Jaguar E type.
Ideally for your cruise down the countryside.

Agree with Canberra!. A friend had a ride with Delta Jets black one years ago. I video'd all the happenings with someone else's camera. It had no tape in it!!. My embarrassment didn't last too long. Sadly he died in a road accident shortly after. R.I.P. J.C.

Always loved the Hawker Hunter lovely looking Aircraft especially having seen them in the days when they were based jointly with the Buccaneers at Lossiemouth in the 80s and early 90s... Also who can ever forget Miss Demeanour........

I remember seeing these ex-Singapore AF Hunters parked on Bravo and being a bit annoyed when I couldn't be around for their departure. If I remember correctly the UK bought them back from Singapore. The RAF must've been in a hurry to get them into service still having their green/brown camouflage and Singapore AF serial.

Lovely shots of 321 in ripple and 563 in that scheme was just stunning, in some ways a shame it was rippled.

Best looking aircraft ever. Worked on the FGA9s and T7s of 45 (and then 58) squadron when I was at Wittering.
