antarmike Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) A very sorry-looking Hunter, slowly being dismembered just outside Woodhall Spa.:embarrassed:[ATTACH=CONFIG]37956[/ATTACH] Owned by Jon Davison, he is working on it, but because of its location doesn't wan't to put too many nickable parts on it until security is improved. He Owns, has owned several Aircraft. He is currently rebuilding a Tiger Moth that was groundlooped many years ago. It should be ready to fly into Waddington Airshow this year. The Hunter T7 of course will never fly again! Not being dismembered, being slowly assembled. It is a loved aircraft, and he would like it to be known it isn't scrap, being broken up, or there for souvenir hunters. Hopefully in the coming Summer months it will look a lot better.

honeileen Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 theres a few quid in the deposits on the palettes!:D Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antarmike Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 The airframe was initially balanced on a Rolls Royce Avon engine stand. That was only borrowed and had to go back (there is no Avon in this Hunter before you ask) The Pallets are a temporary measure. It may get mounted on a pole as a gate guardian.

Pzkpfw-e Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Well, one stands corrected! I did notice a very smart Lightning and what looks like a Bloodhound missile outside a farm a little further down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antarmike Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Do you know the reg and any history of the Hunter? Christian Jon has history, I seem to remember him telling me it was converted to F7 from a F4. (some T7's were new built), beyond that I can't remember what he said.

Mike OOPS ! just upset my mate asked him why they use East European men to mount aircraft on, With a name like Porembski and being of Polish nationality I should have been more diplomatic... now how do I get this adjustable spanner out of the back of my head without getting blood on my clean shirt ?:nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
