I actually drove past it when it was being installed on my way to the Everton game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 17, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Actually, sorry it is a Hawker Hunter but is in Royal Navy livery. It is WT723. Edited October 17, 2021 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you google "Hall Green Residents Hawker Hunter" it brings up a Facebook page which has a picture of it being installed, which must have been taken almost the exact time I drove past. Apparently the owner of SCC is a big aviation fan and used to fly the aircraft before it was grounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoiding the Grafton St bunker but definitely taking ina drink at the 19th hole (Guiness Brewery Tour - the view from the tower at the end with a free pint is worth it. 360 degrees view over the city) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
