Paul Bradley Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Nice work, John, thanks! These really show off the constipated look of the back end on these early Hunters. Did you happen to get a shot of that sectioned engine, next to the airframe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Fleming Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Ooohh! Can someone measure that tailpipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenMG Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Yes, '651 is very lovely indeed. The aircraft was repainted early this year after being outside for years and looking very faded. However, I do think it's a shame they use the wrong colour on the undersides - should be High Speed Silver of course. LAG just doesn't look right on these early Hunters. I have a particular soft spot for this one as WT651 was one of 233 OCUs aircraft at RAF Pembrey. That's where my father did his National Service so he probably worked on her at some point.
