Towing a helicopter must be as difficult as towing a hot air balloon I would think
(although Homer Simpson did tow one last night).

Looks like a two seater made up from lots of bits of other Hunters!

Someone was obviously inspired (and not very talented) after watching Flight of the Phoenix

Two infact, it was stored outside at Wickenby for years, I never knew what it was as all you could see from the road was the top bit of camo.

So then Helen, WHERE IS IT and WHY IS IT THERE?

[Olicat]

its near the former RAF woodhall spa
and i would also like to know why its there!

[Hihonyr8811]

It was bought by the landowner, he intends to do it up, but has no plans what to do with it after.
He wanted the location kept secret (hence the random field bit ) to stop people from nicking bits, and has CCTV set up around it and an electric fence.
But it's not excatly hidden

[Xplumberlives]

Heres my old one at North Luffenham before it was taken to Bentwaters.

[Olicat]

just because we all have a local hunter or two dont we!
