This video is of G-PSST, and was shot at Kemble in 2004 - and was shot by myself and not any of the others that uplifted the video from the Heritage Aviation website!
My Grandad used to fly the Hunter at RAF Leuchars with 222sqn. He tells me all the storys and as they say if it looks right it will fly right! Miss demeanour looks so god dam good! Flapjack is an amazing pilot to his two ship hunter pair at Elvington last yeat was absolutley amazing it stole the show!!
A real fighter ,with the Canberra lookout.Even today they are very capable aircraft.Just imagine these two with the Lightning The Vulcan[and Victor] and TSR 2.
Awesome, awesome video! I love the hunter. First one I ever saw crashed, killing the pilot just moments after saying goodbye to the friend I made that airshow weekend. :(
I am a fan of the FGA9 Hunter,or F56A as us Indians called them.Are there any in flying condition here in the UK.Are there any even on static display where I can closely inspect one and take a few snaps?.I saw a refurbished one at the excellent Delhi Air Force Museum at Palam,alongside various other UK supplied fighters;however I was not allowed to climb onto one for a better look!.The Indian contingent has been very under advertised in the west on the Hunter front,but I want to change this.
Try "thunder-and-lightnings[dot]co[dot]uk[slash]hunter[slash]survivors[dot]html". They list seven FGA.9's in the UK, with XE601 (civil G-ETPS, serial 41H-679959, a converted F.6) still flying and in the "raspberry ripple" Empire Test Pilot's School colors of its previous operator.
Hakwer Hunter Aviation Ltd are based at RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire and they have almost a whole squadron! They are a civilian operation staffed by ex RAF types. As well as doing air shows they are contracted by the Ministry of Defence for radar calibration and threat simulation work particularly with the Royal Navy.
Contact John Sparks at the hunter flying club based at Exeter airport, this aircraft is kept there & maintained by them, they have a list of all the shows that their aircraft will be displaying at in 2008.
That'll be ''miss demeanour'', she always in and out of exeter airport always buzzin the flybe hangars and scaring the crap out of everyone on the shop floor..shes done it to me several times!! not sure if she's based there????
one of my first aviation jobs!paintstripping the bugger before the guys sprayed it.a scaffold tower had to be erected so an observer could tell the sprayer how he was doing.drop tanks have explosive realease but we didn t know until the stickers arrived!
at the end we got a display just for us and lucky bystanders at bournemouth airport;ah those where the days.come back tony russo.
