Hunter XL623
Paul Rash reports
Nothing useful has been done at Dunsfold since
October 23rd when the Marvel Film Company moved us off our stand.
Although they have left, we still have to move the fuselage and trailer
back when weather permits. A new nose undercarriage door and a fuselage
access door are being worked at Brooklands. The team is ready to
restart.
G-Hawk
G-HAWK’s own wing in its final configuration
has been received at Brooklands from BAE Systems. Its last job with
BAES was on a non-flying publicity ‘mock-up’ of a proposed Indian Hawk
variant with leading edge slats, and is painted in a colourful red,
white and green livery. It has five pylons and wingtip missile
launchers. In due course it will be painted dark blue to match the rest
of the aircraft, with the slats removed. It will be fitted to
G-HAWK carrying a pair of Sidewinders.
