Hunter T.59 never existed. The Iraqi 2-seaters were T.69 (an a leased T.66A), while the single seaters were Hunters F.59 and FGA.59A (plus some unmodified ex RAF Hunters F.6)

The story of the cat.4 accident is even more 'funny'. Qfter some troubles during the approch, the pilot decided to eject at low altitude but its plane landed alone untill arrested by a walle having its nose section crushed.
