Although marked as XG168, a Hunter FR.10, this is actually XG172. First flight was in 1956, then serving with 19 and 263 Sqds, then 229 OCU and 1 TWU before retirement to the Trade Management Training Squadron at RAF Scampton in September 1984 as 8832M. Purchased by Everett Aero in 1995, and sold on to The Jet Centre at North Weald in 1997 for potential return to flight. But instead went to Classic Jets at Exeter then Norwich in 2001. Moved from the Norwich Aviation Museum to the entrance of the West Raynham Business Park in May 2025 This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
