"The Hawker Hunter F.1 WT569 was one of the first production batch of Hunter F.1s and spent some time doing development work as a result, notably aileron trials and tropical trials in Sudan. She did not have a long flying career and has spent most of her service life as a ground instructional airframe, ending up as the gate guard at 2117 Squadron Air Training Corps."
