• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

HuntFGA9_cfs1.zip; Hawker Hunter FGA9

On 5th April 1968, due to the lack of proper celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the Royal Air Force, Flt Lt A Pollock of No 1 Sqdn took matters into his own hands. He flew to various airfields and either bombed them with toilet rolls or flew inverted at 200ft or less over them. His piece de resistance though was to fly his Hawker Hunter FGA9 (XF442) between the top span and the road span of Tower Bridge in London. He was, of course, thrown out of the RAF. It wasn't until 1982 that his case was finally heard and he was exonerated. Ironically, the Hunter involved was written of in an accident during 1982 in the service of the Chilean Air force.

This is Mike Hill's excellent Hawker Hunter, repainted to Flt Lt Alan Pollock's FGA9 whilst with No1 squadron.

The panel belongs to Phil Perrott and comes with all the necessary restrictions.

The DP file is mine and also has the same restrictions attached.
