Royal Jordanian AIr Force Historic Flight

I took these photographs at the Royal Air Forces Association's Woodford Air Show in June 1995. They are two aircraft of the Royal Jordanian Air Force Historic Flight, a De Havilland Vampire and a Hawker Hunter.

The brochure of the event said this about the aircraft:

Representing Jordan we have aircraft from the Royal Jordanian Air Force Historic Flight which has only been formed since 1994, using aircraft of the types used in the past, such as the Hunter and Vampire. The flight now operates two Vampires, a single seat FB6 and a two seat T55 - both of which were previously operated by the Swiss Air Force. They are now painted in the camouflage of the period and the falcon markings of No.2 Squadron. The Hunter was on the British register as G-BOOM and is a two seat T7 variant. It carries the markings of one of the first Hunters to enter service with the RJAF in 1958, with No.1 Squadron based at Mafraq.
