Un-marked Hunter F.6 on ASF pan - 1959.   Maurice says I can just make out the remains of 93 Sqn emblem on the nose so it looks as though the a/c has been rubbed down and is ready to be re-sprayed.   As no seat is fitted this could indicate that it was on engine runs at the time.   I recall that ejection seat removal could be a little tricky if you were the person sitting behind the cockpit and had to take the weight of the seat before it could be handed down to the other two standing on the ground.   Removal was best carried out by 3 persons, although at a 'push' it could be accomplished by 2.   (Thanks to Maurice Parker)
