This is one of the ex-Swiss Mk 58 Hunters that RAF has taken on board
as ZZ190 and operated by civilian pilots in support activities.
It started life as Swiss AF J-4066. It was operated by The Old Flying
Machine Company at Duxford as G-BXNZ from November 1997 to December
2002. It was then moved to Hawker Hunter Aviation as G-HHAE until
January 2002 at which time it was taken on charge by the RAF as ZZ190.
Incidentally, following the Hunter crash at the Shoreham show, the
RAF/HHA Hunters have not been grounded by the CAA as they now subject
to Military airworthiness requirements.
