RAF Museum - AM Form 78
The RAF museum have kindly provided me with copies of XL609's Movement Cards (attached) which mostly lines up with the 'known history' her previous owner passed on to me. On the second sheet she is listed as a T7A, I'm guessing the mods carried out in '65 by Hawker Siddley where the upgrade to the 'A' which would include IFIS fit. I'd be interested to know more if anyone can shed any light on the items in the 'Authority' box for example S.1017C G (or 9?) 3

U/C Buttons
I recently picked up what I think is the correct 'Dowty' U/C selector for the Hunter. It has seen better days and was missing the plastic (or perhaps bakelite?) 'UP' button so I got to work designing a replacement in Fusion 360 and did a quick test print.

New Documents
It's not just Christmas presents arriving in the post this week!
We now have an Aircrew Manual for the T7/T7A and we've also been sent digital copies of both the 'Schedule of Spare Parts' (AP4347G) and the 'Aircraft Repair Manual' (AP13021-06) which will be very useful when work starts after the festivities!
Thanks for your support and best wishes for Christmas!

While I wait for the cockpit to be delivered I've started gathering up some background reading, photos and parts.
