I think I have found, using Google, 3 Hunters on a west side dispersal at Scampton, one of the seems to be lacking it's tail plane.
also on the dispersals the other side of the peritrack there appear to be some truncated black Hawk fuselages with wings.

Probably, I have since found this page.
https://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk/hunter/survivors.php
Using the browser "Find Function" shows 9 at Scampton and some are T7-T8s

PS I have just realised that should read 8 at Scampton because 2 of the "find" markers are on the same listing.

Interesting, scroll down the map a little and there's reference to a company called Hawker Hunter Aviation Limited.
