RAWTAG / SKYLINE TAGS HAWKER HUNTER T7 XL586

Description

Another welcome collaboration between RAWTAG and Skyline Tags!

This time it is the turn of the classic British fighter jet – The Hawker Hunter.
Even as a two-seat variant, the Hunter has lines that just shout beauty!
If it looks right it flies right is often said, the Hunter exemplifies that old adage.

XL586 was built and first flown in 1958. It served with 1 TWU, 2 TWU and 229 OCU RAF at bases such as Brawdy and Lossiemouth, until being retired and entering storage at Shawbury in 1991. It passed through Witham Special Vehicles and Everett Aero before arriving at Delta Jets at Kemble in April 1998 – latterly as a gate guard – before being roaded to Riverside MOT Centre in Melksham, Wiltshire, in August 2009. Whilst at Kemble it gained the rear fuselage and wings from XL578 – hence that being the serial visible on some photographs.
These tags have been beautifully produced from two panels removed from XL586, showcasing the two colours of its camouflage.
