Evening all,
I called in at Lee-on-Solent last Saturday and Hunter F.51 fuselage 'WT720' coded B (according to Plane Base its G-9-436 cn 41H-680267) was in a building site near the 05 Cafe.
Not good for photos at the moment as a load of barriers up and the road around it is temporarily closed but can easily be seen.
Directions to cafe can be found on this link:

Hopefully of use to someone.
Regards
James

This aircraft will reappear in Iraqi AF marks but I understand will not remain at Lee.

Moved to a site in or near Basingstoke for display outside some offices I believe.

This Hunter was also on the gate at RAF Sealand for several years - I noted it there in August 2003 - wearing 74 Sqn markings and code "B". Brought back memories of the real WT720 of 74 Sqn, which I logged many times at RAF Horsham St Faith during 1957 and 1958!
