There was a Hunter which did a flypast at Dawlish a while ago. They used to be used for target towing based on the South Coast some time ago.

I saw one flying at Duxford a few weeks back. It looked stunning in a crazy yellow rainbow type paintjob.

1 was at Old Warden a couple of weeks back for a celebration of everything Hawker, as I'm under the flight path, it spent most of its time above my flat being escorted by 2 Gnats that were former Reds, still in their Red paint jobs.
