This Hunter made its first flight 16-Dec-1955 as XF311 of the Royal Air Force, mainly serving with squadrons in Germany. In Aug-1962 it went into storage. In Mar-1963 it went to the Royal Navy as an instructional airframe with serial A2566. It was struck off charge in Aug-1967. In Jan-1970 it went via Hawker Siddeley Aviation to the Singapore Air Force Technical College as SAF-TECH-11. It later went on display at Sentosa until shipped to the Queensland Air Museum at Caloundra, Australia in March 1989, where it was repainted again as RAF XF311.

Built for the RAF in 1955, this aircraft became an instructional airframe for the Royal Navy in 1963 and then the Singapore Air Force in 1970. Acquired by the museum in 1989.
