Not at all surprised to learn they were built at Brough, or at least that there was an airframe on test there. The Hunter was quite a big export succes so production could have been all over. Some of the exported ones were still operational into the 1990s I think. I think further fatigue testing is often carried on when airframes are in service for longer than had originally been envisaged.
There's a Buccaneer outside a petrol station at Elgin in northern Scotland. Something to do with Lossiemouth I guess. Very interesting to inspect at close quarters.
