Hawker Hunter T8 - WT722

From the very beginning of its operational career it was clear that the Hawker Hunter was destined to be a very capable and flexible design and the air forces of many nations were already showing interest.

From 1955 a 2-seat training version was introduced into service, to train pilots for the new capabilities that the latest Hawker fighter would provide.

The Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre is now permanently closed due to the the termination of its premises lease. The project to relocate the museum has been set-aside as the request for 8 months deferral of notice to allow time to prepare the new site was refused. Thank you to all CAHC's supporters, especially the SDL Foundation which offered to provide £1,000,000 to finance the aborted relocation project.

Cornwall Council has terminated CAHC's tenancy and we may never open again. If you would like to help fight this decision by Cornwall Council, please sign our online petition at - https://www.change.org/p/save-cornwall-aviation-heritage-centre
