Description

The Hawker Hunter entered service in 1954 and soon became the RAF's front-line fighter aircraft.

The F1 was modified quite early on, and later versions were improved and adapted for the ground attack role.  The Hunter saw service with 20 countries world-wide.

The early Hunters were armed with 4 x 30mm cannon at first, then rockets, bombs, or missiles became available when extra hard-points were added to the wings.

This example is a Hunter FGA.9 of 1 Squadron Rhodesian Air Force 1972. (Rhodesia is now known as Zimbabwe)
