The oldest flying Hunter in the world is back on the European display circuit!

Built in 1954 as an F4, she served for the Royal Air Force with 54(F), 14(F) Sqns and 229 OCU. In 1962 she was converted to a GA11 and resumed service with 764 NAS where she was later fitted with cameras and became a PR11.

Now painted in Black Arrows colours, she is owned and flown by Andy Gillett.

In 2008 she was present at Farnborough as part of a 3-ship aerobatic team, and also displayed at Silverstone as a soft re-entry into the display scene.
