Hunter in Cornwall

Just seen Hunter low level near St Austell, heading direction Newquay... Sounded good. Was a twin seater; possibly HHA? Anyone else see it?

Classic Air Force helpfully just posted this on Facebook!
"For once the classic jet activity at Newquay today does not come from Classic Air Force!
The two Hawker Hunters that just got airborne are operated by Hawker Hunter Aviation and are currently based at Newquay on a military contract.
We're looking forward to seeing them on a regular basis over the days to come.
Please note: these aeroplanes are not based in the Classic Air Force hangar and are not on view to the public, but when flying they should easily be visible from our site."

The HHA Hunters re-located to Newquay last week from Yeovilton due to the main runway 09/27 being under maintenance for a month. The Hawks left Yeovilton for Culdrose yesterday morning.....

I was wondering what the hawks were doing yesterday. Must have seen them as they arrived. Hopefully visiting the classic Air Force museum on Friday so i will keep my eyes peeled for the hunters.
