This model represents Hawker Hunter F.Mk.6, XF506'X', flown by Squadron Leader Peter Latham, the leader of one of the most famous RAF aerobatic teams of all time, the "Black Arrows" of No. 111 Squadron, RAF. This team formed in 1956 as a flight of four, led by Squadron Leader Roger Topp. In 1958, the team grew to 16 Hunters and with additional borrowed aircraft, they performed a loop with 22 aircraft during the Farnborough Air Show - a record that is still unbroken to this day! This feat was quite remarkable, in view of the perfect timing and positioning of the Hunters, fly at about 400mph and only 4 feet apart at times!
