Re: RAF at Kemble
I saw the silver Hunter & Canberra flying at Goodwood festival of speed years ago. Shame they're no longer flying

Re: RAF at Kemble
Is it realistic to hope one of the Canberras will fly again? Last saw what I assume was that Hunter flying four or five years ago.
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.

Re: RAF at Kemble
I thought that one of the PR.9's was bound for India?
Re: RAF at Kemble
Last I heard was that both are still for sale.
I believe that 134 was sold on an auction site for a steal but the buyer couldn't afford to remove it from Kemble.

Re: RAF at Kemble
I wouldn't hold your breathe, unfortunately. Hunter XL577/G-XMHD departed for Jordan in 2016, that's the last we saw of the fleet.
As above, India were interested in one of the Canberra but, I believe nothing else came of the deal.
