Hawker Hunter

Survivor E-425

Solway Aviation Museum, Carlisle Airport, Cumbria

E-425, seen here when at the Midland Air Museum, is an ex-Danish example and had been partially repainted in its original colours some years ago. However the Museum had a change of heart and in late summer 2000 she was repainted in RAF colours, in fact 111 Squadron 'Black Arrows' markings, representing XG190. Sadly in modern Britain an aircraft in RAF colours, it turns out, draws more visitors than one in her correct Royal Danish Air Force markings! In 2007 she had another change of scheme, into Raspberry Ripple colours but no particular identifying marks. Swapped with Martin Garrett during 2008 in part exchange for a Viscount, Martin then sold E-425 on to the museum at Carlisle and she left Baginton in late 2008.

Martin Garrett from Coventry	Posted at 4:57pm on Wednesday, January 28th, 2009
The above airframe is no longer owned by the Midland Air Museum. In early 2008 a deal between myself and MAM was agreed where I took ownership of E-425 in a part exchange deal which saw Viscount F-BGNR been acquired by the Midland Air Museum. In quick succession I passed ownership of the Hunter on to Solway Aviation Museum where it can now be found.
