Alok Bose confirms Rupak's sightings of the Hunter at Delhi

It turns out that this Hunter at Bhikaji Cama Place is already known to us as A-1012

"Today I found a Hunter F.56 Single seater (which is unlisted on your site) with Serial No. A 1012.It is displayed on a pole and is   located in R.K.Puram (near defence accounts office) bang across the road  from the Bhikaji Cama Place Fire Station and Hyatt Regency Hotel and is flanked by a CRPF Camp.It is not in too good a shape with peeling paint and a sligthly open cockpit.I could not make out the emblem painted on  it's fuselage correctly because it was too dusty but it did have the words 'Phoenix' written on it. Maybe it can be id'ed from that." (31/03/03)
