At local company Centrprise ,it would seem to honour the owner Rafi Razzak’s father.

That looks great, but which one is it?

Found this in the planning app "The aircraft was previously sited as the gate guardian at RAF Sealand" Hunter F.51 WT720

I popped over a couple of weeks ago, it should be fully finished with the fence removed within the next month.

Except that WT720 was a Hunter F.4, which was scrapped in 1964....

If this is the ex-Sealand example, it's true identity is ex Danish E-408 (the F.51 was an export version exclusively for RDAF), which was marked up as WT720 for RAF display.

I wonder how they define a surplus aircraft on a pole as 'Art'...?

Although I'd have to say that the Hunter was a work of art, the moment it left the drawing board!
