Summary
| Description |
c/n S4/U/2912. Built 1954. British military serial WN904. Among the 1,972 Hunters built, the F.2 was a rare mark. It was powered, along with the F.5, by the 8,300lbf Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire 101, instead of the Rolls-Royce Avon used in all other marks of Hunter. Built by Armstrong Whitworth at Coventry, only 45 were produced and this is now the only surviving example. Delivered to 257sqn at Wattisham in September 1954, she remained with the unit until severely damaged in January 1956. Although repaired, she was then stored until 1958 when she went to the Melksham School of Technical Training as ‘7544M’. In 1974 she was donated to the Imperial War Museum collection at Duxford, but was later loaned out to serve as a gate guard at Waterbeach Barracks, the former RAF Waterbeach. She is now painted in 56sqn markings and is on permanent display at the Sywell Aviation Museum. Sywell Aerodrome, Northamptonshire, UK. 21st May 2017 |
