Stewart Griffiths is involved in the restoration, for static
display, of Harrier T4N XW268 which is located at the City of Norwich
Aviation Museum. The aircraft is privately owned with only Stewart and
the owner involved in the restoration.
The 50th Anniversary of XW268’s first flight is on 5th November and
Stewart asks if there might be any photographs of XW268 prior to its
delivery to the RAF, or better still, photographs of its first flight?
If anyone can help, please contact the editor. The project is covered
at www.xw268.net and www.facebook.com/xw268.
Norman Long has reported that a Hunter is on display outside the premises of Centerprise International, at Chineham. The aircraft is a Danish F 51 (E408) restored by CAV Aircraft Services
at Lee on Solent, painted in the colours of an Iraqi FGA 59. Previously
it was the ‘gate guardian’ at RAF Sealand posing as FMk4 WT720.The
aircraft commemorates the owner’s father, Sq Ldr Arif Abdul Razzak, who
flew Hunters in Iraq.
