Thunder & Lightnings - Hawker Hunter - Survivor XG210 (composite with XL572/XL623)

Hawker Hunter
Survivor XG210 (composite with XL572/XL623)
Privately Owned, Beck Row (?), Suffolk

An ex-RAE F.6 now privately owned, her wings are those of XL572 and XL623. Unfortunately during the summer of 1999 some low-life broke into the cockpit and stole the entire instrument panel; the owner moved the aircraft to a more secure location for some months but then put it back on display in his front garden, easily visible from the road. She's accumulated some moss and muck on one side and could really do with a clean at the least and really needs to be repainted, but she appears to be in fairly decent nick otherwise. Last I heard the aircraft had been adopted by a local ATC unit - 2417 (Newmarket) ATC and they had begun cleaning the aircraft. However their website no longer exists so no more updates can be found on progress; also recent reports are that the airframe is no longer at Beck Row?

May I just say the aircraft was moved so that I could take the engine out, but now I have changed my mind and will put it back together,and repaint it,I think it deserves it Ps the main fuslage has only flown 1,633hrs.
