Hawker Hunter - flying again?

[BrettMRC]

I was just watching what I swear was a Hawker Hunter doing a flyby followed by a touch and go at Yeovilton....thought they had been grounded post Shoreham, or has that been lifted now?

Apologies if covered elsewhere, but news to me....

It might be one of the Bournemouth based military contractor examples.

Thanks Eric - was dark blue in hue if that helps?

[Eric Mc]

That could very well be one of them.

One of them was ZZ191 ... not sure of the reg of the second.

Taken from Navy Wings on FB ..

"One of the Hunters is flown by Cdr Simon Hargreaves OBE, pilot of our Sea Vixen."

Neither of the FRA flown Hunters, ZZ190 & ZZ191 (operated by Scampton based HHA Ltd) are dark blue, both are in dark grey/green camo.

There was one on static at RIAT, I presumed that flew in but may be wrong.

Hunter ZZ191 flew in, was on static display, & flew out of RIAT.
