Part of the "Blue Herons" display team (team logo on drop tank) from FRADU, HMS Heron, Yeovilton. One of 26 Hunters gathered to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the type's first flight. Damaged beyond repair by a bird strike at Yeovilton on 29 November 1985. To SAH (School of Aircraft Handling) Culdrose in 1986 and used as ground trainer A2737 then A2650. Sold in January 1994 and moved to North Weald. Shipped to Chino, CA in February 1996. Some reports say it flew again as N267WV in 2002. Ultimately it was broken up and used for parts.
