RAF High Wycombe's Gate Guard replaced

[acw367]

Hurricane BAPC223 which had previously been the gate guard at Coltishall prior to High Wycombe was showing its age. On Friday it was pulled down from its plinth and replaced by a new full scale mock-up in exactly the same colours. It is not known whether the NEW V7467 is BAPC registered. The OLD V7467 - BAPC223 was taken away by GateGuards UK Ltd to their hangar on Newquay Cornwall Airport.

Been past the old girl many times on my way out from meetings there, hope she's well cared for.
