Added
a photo of Hunter 533 in service with the RAF in Aden as
XE614. This photo is remarkable because it is an air-to-air
image taken with the on-board F95 camera of an accompanying
Hunter FR Mk. 10. Special thanks to George Cole for this
wonderful contribution. |
|
|
01SEP06
|
It
was known that QAM's Hunter 533 served as XE614 with No
1417 Flight RAF in Aden during the sixties. It was also
known that the codes applied to 1417 Flight's Hunters were
derived from the initials of the assigned pilot and that
XE614 was coded GC, but we never knew who "GC"
was - until now. Thanks to the power of the Internet, we
now know that "GC" was Flight Lieutenant George
Cole, for George has contacted us, having found "his"
aeroplane on our website. As a result, the history of the
aeroplane has been expanded considerably. Many thanks George! |
