Photographed on the north side of Exeter Airport sometime (I think) in the mid-1990s. This Hunter was later destroyed when the aircraft crashed in Borth, North Wales on 1 June 2003 while returning to Exeter from Blackpool. The cause of the accident was determined to be engine flame-out preceded by a total electrical failure. The pilot, Craig Penrice ejected from the Hunter but suffered serious spinal injuries as a result.
