FGA.9 XE601 of the A&AEE at Boscome Down. I remember this jet making low passes during an exercise at RAF Wattisham with the water tanks attached. The spray was to simulate a chemical attack, so anyone wet instantly became a contender for decontamination!!
Pretty slow for a fast jet.

Beautiful machine. I remember seeing Jordanian Hunters flying over our house in early 70s.

I've been lucky enough to see one of these classics at an airshow. She's a pretty bird!
