            G-BXFI/WV372/R, Hawker Hunter T-7 (CN 41H-670815) owned at the time by Cranfield Hunter Ltd displays at the RNAS Culdrose Air Day 2015. Originally delivered as single seat F-4 in July 1955, the machine suffered significant fire damage in November 1956. Re-emerging from the factory in 1959 as a T-7, it spent the 1960's with RAF Germany before joining 4 FTS at RAF Valley in 1971. After a few more rounds of use and storage the machine was transferred to the Royal Navy in November 1984 and operated by FRADU until 1987 and then again from 1990 to 1993. Allocated instructional number A2619, the machine moved to Culdrose as a ground running instructional airframe. Disposed of to Transair in 1997 and registered G-BXFI, the machine had a range of private owners, the last being Cranfield Hunter. Twenty-three days after displaying at Culdrose, WV372 was destroyed in the infamous Shoreham Airshow disaster that claimed eleven lives on the ground, the pilot, Andy Hill somehow surviving the high speed ground impact.
