Another shot of 118 Sqn Hunter F.4 WT751 soon after it arrived on the squadron - presumably about May55.   Note the lack of "Sabrinas" which were added later to collect the links that joined up belts of 30 mm ammunition.   These were found to bounce down the fuselage and cause airframe damage.   WT751 T had ff 9Mar55 Duncan Simpson. C/N 41H-670708. Del. 28Mar55, 5MU, 247 Sqn, 118 Sqn(T) 27Apr55, 5MU 24Aug57, A&AEE, 62 for jettison trials with 230-gall drop tanks(empty), 5MU.
