F.4 ID-123 at Koksijde AFB, Belgium; Ludo De Beuckeleer	F.4 ID-44 at Savigny les Beaune, 23rd June 2003; Paul Nann

Belgian F.4 ID-123 is displayed in this rather strange "Help! I'm gonna die!" attitude at the barracks at Koksijde air force base in Belgium.

Clearly recently restored, ID-44 is resplendent in Belgian colours and looks to be in excellent condition. Information current as of 23/06/2003.

F.4 IF-70 at the Musee Royale in Brussels, Belgium; Nicolas Godfurnon	F.4 N72602 at Mojave, April 1999; David Atkinson

Presented in the smart colours of the Belgian Air Force's aerobatic team, les Diable Rouges, this Hunter is not actually IF-70, but is really ID-46. Other than that though, I don't know anything about it - contributions welcome!

Ex-Danish E-403; sold to Al Letcher at Mojave circa 1977. She suffered a mishap last year and is most probably going to remain static for a good while.

F.4 WV276 at IWM Duxford (now at Scampton), July 1997; author	F.4 XF311 at the Queensland Air Museum; Nick Sayers

Pictured here at but since moved to the Front Line Aviation Museum on the Isle of Wight, F.4 WV276 is not in good condition. The paint scheme is in particularly poor shape and several panels and doors are missing. Unfortunately after several years with the museum absolutely nothing had been done and with the museum's collapse the OFMC took the aircraft back and placed it in storage at Scampton; all the OFMC's jets are now under the umbrella of HHA, and WV276 is now up for sale.

XF311 here has quite a story behind her. Originally serving with the Singaporean Air Defence Force, on retirement it become a static exhibit and was transported to the island of Sentosa. However as the years went by the Hunter (along with a C-47, Sea Vixen and Meteor) became a drain on the resources of the SADF and they quietly sold it to a scrap dealer. Local aviation enthusiasts were outraged and mounted a publicity campaign, contacting the Queensland Air Museum to see if they could help. QAM stepped in and mounted a herculean effort to buy the aircraft and move them from their island home. A mere six volunteers moved all but the C-47 from a hill top to the docks, a task that, in the reverse direction, had taken 60 men with a budget of $50,000! Shipped to Australia and taken by road to the Museum, the Hunter has been brought back to excellent display condition thanks to the efforts of a few of the volunteers.

F.4 XF506 at Dumfries, May 5th 2003; Bob Lawson	F.5 WP190 at Tangmere, 3rd September 2005; author

WT746 first flew on 1st March 1955 and was then delivered to No.5 Maintenance Unit. Its flying career was spent with the Air Fightning Development Squadron at RAF West Rayham in Norfolk from around 1960. After that it became a ground instructional airframe at various RAF technical establishments, including Halton and St. Athan. Its career ended when Saighton Camp near Chester closed and it was put up for disposal. Bought and transported to the Museum in 1999, the aircraft is in excellent condition with a complete cockpit and has been repainted as XF506, the mount of Squadron Leader Peter Latham of the 'Black Arrows' (111 Squadron). Information current as of 05/05/2003.

One of only two surviving F.5s, WP190 served with 1 Squadron, based at RAF Tangmere, and saw action in the Suez Crisis. Retired in 1958 to become an instructional airframe, in 1974 it became the gate guard at RAF Stanbridge and for a brief period masqueraded as WP180 (an aircraft destroyed on the ground by EOKA terrorists during the Suez Crisis). In more recent years she was acquired by the Hunter Restoration Flight. Owned by Raymond Hansed, a five year restoration effort by Raymond, Sandy, John Holder and Sid Griffiths has brought it to the excellent condition you can see here. The markings the aircraft wears are those she wore during the Suez crisis, and it is thought that WP190 is the only preserved RAF aircraft in existence that actually took part in that conflict - she is also one of only two F.Mk.5s in existence. Gifted to the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum Trust on 5th June 2002, she was stored off-site until the new hangar was completed and is pictured here inside said hangar while preparations were underway to open it to the public. Information current as of 03/09/2005.

F.6 IF-65 at Beauvechain, 31st August 2002; Steve 'Cloggy'	F.6 XE656 at Speyer, 3rd June 2003; Paul Nann

Hiding away at Beauvechain is IF-65, which was due to move to Weelde but has so far failed to do so. Information current as of 31/08/2002.

Briefly resident at Bruntingthorpe while being repainted in this pseudo Black Arrows scheme (though the airframe was actually in the Blue Diamonds, not the Black Arrows!), it soon departed for Germany and is now displayed at the Auto und Technik Museum in Speyer. Information current as of 03/06/2003.
