Hunter F.58 712 at Jordan, May 2006; Chris Vaughan/www.deltajets.com

J-4025 first flew on 23rd February 1959 and was delivered to the Swiss Air Force shortly afterwards. She ended up with the Patrouille de Suisse and made her final appearances during 1995. On retirement in 1996 she was sold off and came back to the UK, being overhauled and repainted at Kemble to join the Royal Jordanian Air Force Historic Flight. For a few years we in the UK were lucky enough to enjoy the Flight's aircraft on the airshow circuit. Sadly by mid 1999 they had all gone 'home' to Jordan. 712 enjoyed a brief flying life there but has been grounded for some time now.
