Hunter seen heading North over Ruskington at about 15.30, report from my good lady. Unsure if it was a Single or Twin?

Any reports from Scampton this afternoon?

I'd love to see the Buccaneer, Fitter and Phantom fly again, were are HHA planning to move to now that Scampton is closing?

A quick stroll round Scamptons fence finds behind HHA hangar

XE685/861 Hunter GA11
XF994/873 Hunter T8C
and an unmarked T7 from some homework seems to be XL587.

All look stored but posted for anyone who is interested.

XE688 has been out and about fairly regularly of late, mainly believed to be air tests etc. She was also out and about earlier this week.
I was lucky enough to see her just before lockdown in March and very pretty/handsome she is too😃😃

XE688 Hunter T.72 PP-XHH, J-736 (Chile), XE704 (F.4) Embraer c/s
XF994 Hunter T.8C G-CGHU, XF994 (F.4) Fleet Air Arm c/s
XF995 Hunter T.8B G-BZSF, XF995 (F.4)
ZZ190 Hunter F.58 G-HHAE, G-BXNZ, J-4066
ZZ191 Hunter F.58 G-HHAD, G-BWFS, J-4058

Believe the only two currently airworthy are XE688 and ZZ191.

ZZ190 is the closest to being airworthy out of the remaining list, JagMadAndy will be able to confirm.

G-PRII Hunter GA.11 N723WT, WT723 (F.4) Fleet Air Arm c/s
