Now repainted in its original 257 (Burma) Squadron colour scheme. This is the only fully complete F2 in the world.
Built by Armstrong-Whitworths in Coventry in 1953/54. WN904 was the 17th of 45 F.Mk.2 Hunters built for the RAF and delivered to 257 (Burma) Squadron at RAF Wattisham in Suffolk on 13Sep54 coded Q. Her service career was short as she overshot the runway at RAF Kenley in Jan56 and suffered Cat.4 damage. By the time the damage had been repaired 257 Sqn had converted to the more capable F.Mk.5 and then disbanded in Mar57.
SOC on 22Nov57 and used as a ground instruction airframe until 1974 when she went to the IWM at Duxford for display. In 1989 she went to Waterbeach Barracks as a gate guard. In 2012 the barracks closed and she moved to the museum at Sywell. Until 2019 she had carried fake 56 squadron markings but it had always been the museums goal to restore her to her original markings and what a great job they have done !
