Not your ordinary Hunter F6. This one never saw squandron service and
was "owned" by the Ministry of supply for use in development of the DH
Firestreak air-to-air missile, a configuration which never became
operational.

Other oddities are that the aircraft came from an early batch of F6s
that didn't have the leading edge extensions (most were retrofitted)
and that 2 of it's 4 Adens 30mm guns were removed for missile trials.
There are also no "Sabrina" link collectors.
