Thunder & Lightnings - Hawker Hunter - Survivor WV372 (G-BXFI)

Hawker Hunter
Survivor WV372 (G-BXFI)
Fox One Ltd., Kemble Airfield, Gloucestershire

WV372 was built as an F.4 and first flew on 15th July 1955. Delivered to 222(F) Squadron on 2nd September 1955, around a year later her rear fuselage was badly damaged by an in-flight fire caused by hot exhaust gases escaping when the jetpipe detached from the engine. Returned to Hawkers, she was repaired and converted to a T.7 and returned to the RAF (5 MU) on May 1959. She went on to serve with the RAF Jever and Gutersloh Station Flights, II(AC) Squadron (in whose colours she now flies) and 4 FTS. After retirement she was one of Jet Heritage's airworthy Hunters and carried out one of her first public displays in 1998. Since then the aircraft has moved on, and is now owned by the Fox One consortium and based at Kemble. She's pictured here departing Mollis after taking part in the International Hunter Meet 06.
