November 22 2005:
Woking’s Hunter

A few years ago, the local council promoted an otherwise dead end of town. Woolworths moved out and this became a Wetherspoons pub, and a closed supermarket was converted to what is now known as ‘The Big Apple’ which is an amusement centre complete with bowling alley. There is also a night club on the site.

The town decided to buy this old Air Force Hawker Hunter T.7 (XL623) as part of this project.

I featured this on PBase in my early days here, and Fran and Terry have photos of it too.

Brian Rodger also has an ultra wide angle shot here

Oooh - I got a mention! Really interesting to see everyone's take on it (I feel a deja vu moment coming on...)

This has a 3D feel to it.

Excellent angle and crop. The scene itself is a bit unsettling.

I've got some photos of this tucked away somewhere too - they haven't made it onto pbase yet though!

Nice take on this, the lighting and angle are both great.

What is most interesting is how your style has changed. Nice light on the plane.
