Very nice logo on the nose ;)
Found a small bit of information on XG185
"Hunter F.6, XG185/74, 4 FTS, Severe fire in the port wing root. Crashed into shallow water at Maltraeth Sand, South Anglesey."
Google book about Hunters, maybe of use to members :-wise
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Ih5Vcy2PZXQC&pg=PA111&lpg=PA111&dq=hawker+Hunter+XG185&source=web&ots=BH368l5aVS&sig=_NyaXItjgEJVmvsA_-uE_fYCitk&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=4&ct=result#PPP1,M1

Your back up information are more then welcome mate :-clap And how about this one?

The top image shows XF383 in 1980 when she was a part of 4FTS (Flying Training School). She briefly carried 216 Sqn markings after being painted in the overall scheme before going to 12 Sqn RAF Honington and used for Buccaneer training.
The next one is XF383/8706M at RAF Wittering in Nov 1986 part of the Battle Damage Repair Flight
I think now that XF383 is just a cockpit (owned by Julian Mitchell) and parts of the original airframe have been used, along with others, to restore XJ714 an FR.10 by the Jet Aviation Preservation Group, Sadly it has now been abandoned it to the weather.

If you read down the forum to the other posts, it looks like a number of pieces of military equipment, i.e. a Hunter and a CVRT (light tank) were purchase, I think the Hunter came from Ebay, and then placed into a lake to be used for underwater drivers. I think that the Hunter canopy was in working order and has been left partly closed so drivers can open it.
Love the 2 Sqn (Written as II(AC) Sqn) Fighter Reconnaissance Mk 10 (FR10)Hunter, my old squadron in Germany in the mid 80's.
II(AC)Sqn flew Hunters in the 60's from RAF Gütersloh. I did contact the owner of the image last year and he gave me permission to use it on my site. Problem being, I still have not had the time to up load it, maybe my next task.
My new job is keeping away from this site and my own :(
-
Hi N°1,
Very good job for a very nice shark-shaped airplane.
A detail : the Hunter's canopy had no frame on the rear... as on the Mystère IVA. The stiffener was part of the canopy and moulded with it in one part.
You can see that on the accompanying pictures :

This is correct- instead of that it have one band of Plexiglas glued there and this section is painted in camouflage color.

Not always painted in the camo colours as the photos that I added on my previous post.

Basic shadows are here... details are miss and this details are the soul of the profile work.
-
See this!!!
-
Nice images and good subject for profile :)
-
Approaching to final layout :-tri
-
Details....
-
I am very close to the first profile of trainer version :)
-
Please, note that Hunter trainer as used by KLu only had two cannons....
-
Good point- I did not note this. Do you have any close up image of the cannon section?
-
The first one :))
-
Another one :))
-
See gun installation of the KLu Hunter T.7 N-301.
It is a detail of a photo I took in 1965 during an Open Day at Soesterberg when the type still was operational.
-
No problem about this Nico as well i will make only port side views. Image is perfect!!
-
T.7 had a cannon on both sides, so port view will show same details. Note the blast openings on the gun barrel!
Hunter had initially great problems with smoke from guns causing flameouts of the engine!
-
I have some images of T.7 but I am not sure that any of them have this gun, I talk about RAF samples. Will try to find more images of Dutch version which have some details different.
-
Just checked my books: KLu Hunter T.7 was basically similar to RAF T.7.
T.7 only had one cannon on starboard side.
Only T.7 prototype had 2 cannons. It is interesting that T.7 was even a little bit faster than the single seat F.6 because the broader cockpit section gave better area rulling.......
-
One camouflaged :))
-
Pattern for Santino, it is used for hook.
-
Nice set of "T" Hunter profile :-ok :-clap
Thaank you for the pattern Srecko :)) :-wave

Suez 1956...
-
Great profile :-ok
During the Suez Crisis of '56, Hunters of No. 1 and No. 34 Squadrons based at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus they flew escort for English Electric Canberra bombers on missions into Egypt for just one day before being put on local air defence due to their lack of range.
-
To regret I never seen any image from this action, where Hunters flew alongside with Canberra's.

I see that 2 flying Hunters in the UK have now teamed up with the Canberra PR.9 XH134 and form the Mid Air Squadron.
http://www.midair-squadron.com/
Its nice to see that they are using one of my images of the PR.9 I took back in 2006 during your deployment to the Gulf "Ghosts of 39", only one issue, the image is of XH131 and XH134. ;)
May have to tell them before someone else does.
