Hunter F.51 E-402 at Pudden Hill, 1st December 2019; Harry Campbell

Until early 2000 this aircraft resided at Kemble but then moved to the Bournemouth Aviation Museum at Bournemouth Airport. While there her appearance improved greatly upon the state she was in while at Kemble with missing panels replaced and a full repaint was undertaken. She then moved to Farnborough but along with several other airframes but was sold to a new owner after some sort of disagreement. She was exported to Ireland and placed on display at Puddenhill. Sadly, it appears she hasn't been touched since...

I was a volunteer at FAST when it was repainted in this scheme. Spent many an hour cleaning and polishing out the canopy fogging. It was sold to the museum or at least one half of the museum as their was a trust and an operating/financial/commercial arm and those two factions didn't see eye to eye. The aircraft was sold to the financial arm of the museum who then totally fell out with the trust and removed all of their assets off site.
