Jaguar T.4 VH-UXB at North Weald, 14th June 2021; Richard E Flagg
XX841 first took to the skies on 16th May 1975. Details on her early career are unclear but after a major servicing at Abingdon in 1989 she joined 6 Squadron at RAF Coltishall, coded ES, and stayed with them for several years. By 2002 she had transferred to 16 Squadron, gained the overall grey scheme and was coded PQ. She transferred back to 6 Squadron, coded EW this time, and ended her flying days with them in 2006. She was retired to Shawbury for storage before being sold off to Everett Aero. By the end of 2006 she had been moved to Bentwaters for storage and to await sale.
The airframe then moved on to a private owner and was moved by road to Tunbridge Wells and reassembled, moved once again to the Salisbury area before being sold again in September 2018 to a private owner who has had it moved to a hangar at North Weald, where restoration work began. Many rumors and reports suggested a possible return to flight!
By 2021, the airframe had been exported to Australia and was added to the civil register as VH-UXB. It has been reported that the aircraft is owned by Miltek Aviation PTY Ltd, which is currently located in Victoria, Australia, who fly a small number of former Singapore Air Force Hawker Hunters. Whether VH-UXB will actually return to the skies is currently unknown.
