Superb photos Lemoncat, I especially like the first one, an old favourite of mine Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Nice one Lemoncat. That beautiful silver Hunter T.7 (T.8? ) is much like the one I flew in back in 1959. You don't see many in those markings nowadays.

I visited Elvington some years ago before the museum was established. Must have been in the 1980s when I was interested in electric powered R/C models. The only thing I remember about it is the verrrry long runway. Shocked

The T.7 always had side-by-side seating but I thought the nose looked different. The Hunter has always been my favourite jet. Getting a flight in one at the age of 16 was a dream come true. I always said I was born lucky. 8) Wink

mmmm 2 seat Jaguar - lurvely,

Like Doug in a Hunter in '59, I was (very) lucky enough to have a nice jaunt in the back of one of these before Mr Hoon pensions them off.... When Colt closes it will be a sad day for the RAF Sad
