mmmm doesn't look quite that good "in the flesh" IMHO .. and I would imagine there is a fair amount of corrosion in it as well. :(

Although I admit I have not been up close to it .. :)

He's got more chance of selling the "story" than the 'plane IMHO :)

Hopefully a reputable museum will snap that up. :y :y

I remember those planes being used by the Black Arrows at the 1958 Farnborough Airshow. Very impressive. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Found this on Youtube for those who weren't around to see them live:

I remember some years ago R A F Chivenor in Devon had a squadron of 37 Hawker Hunters which they used to bomb the Torey-canyon when it went ashore off Cornwall,we were allowed out of school to watch them all fly by,quite a sight :y
