There's a bit of a problem with the museum website, Chris, but it's not too
hard to find out that it is a Hunter T.7, indeed! "XL572 first entered
service at 229 Operational Conversion Unit at Chivenor in 1958.It came to
Elvington in 1994 and has been painted in blue livery to represent XL571 the
leading aircraft in the Blue Diamonds formation team. The team was based at
Leconfield in the early 1960s."
So have you been concealing your past glory in the Blue Diamonds?

Well done, Tom, they're interesting compositions.
And 439 is a T-bird Hunter, a 2-seater. I can't tell the exact mark, but
it's likely to be a T7. If you have a side shot, Tom, I should be
interested to know its serial number (2 letters followed by 3 numbers) as I
might have flown that old machine ... :-)
