Here with 79 Shadow Sqdn/229 OCU (1 TWU), this 1956-build Hunter was rebuilt to FGA.9 (F6A) standard by HSA and exported to Kenya in 6.74 as an FGA.80 where it joined the Air Force with serial 803. After sale to the Zimbabwe AF as 8100, it was one of eight Hunters caught in a terrorist attack at Thornhill AB on 25.7.82 This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
