Lovely...brings back memories. I worked on WT806 when she came to Chivenor in the '80s, where the top half was repainted in green/grey tactical camo with squadron emblems of the 4 TWU squadrons, with focus on 63 sqn which flew Hawks at Chivenor at the time. It had monthly anti-deterioration flights at the time, and while it was hoped to fly her at the 1987 open day, MoD did not permit it, so she was relegated to the static display. If I recall correctly, FRADU wanted the Harley light in the nose returned, so a serviceable radome was obtained and installed (possibly from the station gate guard Hunter). Nice to see she's survived in such nice shape. Thanks for posting.
