It would be good for this base, a good NEW Hunter traffic!
Any idea?

No Hunters were ever based there, so you would only get the odd visitor.

Sorry Steve, but according to R.A.F. Squadrons by W/C C.G. Jefford M.B.E., B.A., R.A.F. (Ret'd) (Published by Airlife):

66 Sqn F4 Mar 56 - Jan 57
F6 Oct 56 - Sep 60

92 Sqn F4 Apr 56 - Mar 57

Very short lived there, but has possibilities..... :D

Thought that 92 was at Leconfield on those but I stand corrected. Strange that the Linton history I found only mentions training units.

92 moved its Meteors from Duxford to Linton in 1949, and stayed there until 57 when it moved with the Hunters to Middleton St. George; they didn't get to Leconfield until 61
