Just looked at the list of residents, very interesting. But the Hunter F6A XG168 is actually an FR10...

Thanks for the input, but I have it listed as a F6A due to this information about it.....

Real identity XG172, an F.6a built by Hawker Aircraft Ltd of Kingston Upon Thames. This aircraft first flew with 19 Sqn before being transferred to 263 Sqn and then 229 OCU. Her flying career ended with the 1 TWU and she later moved to the Trade Management Training Squadron at RAF Scampton and allocated Maintenance number 8832M. Next was a move to North Weald where she remained in storage before being bought by Classic Jets at Exeter. Following her move to the museum, this aircraft has been modified to resemble FR.10 XG168.

But I will add a note on the list to show its modified to resemble XG168 FR.10
