Unknown Hunter

[MOD]

I have just come across an old slide of a (then) recently scrapped Hunter. The trouble is I have no idea where I took this shot nor what the identity of this aircraft is/was. It is an old Kodachrome card mounted slide and the date has faded away.

Any ideas? I really should have got around to cataloguing these slides decades ago.

It could be a T8

It isn't listed here (unless i've missed it): http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/hunter/survivors.php

EDIT Just found out that it is XL618 a Hunter T7 - At Cottesmore and I missed it because it is now in a museum

Many thanks Oli and Pam.

I might just call on your services again as I have hundreds of slides which seem to be quite anonymous, to me at least!!
