	HAWKER HUNTER - HISTORY
		Hawkers worked on a number of designs for jet fighters after the war and the Hunter would follow on from the Sea Hawk via another design, the P.1052.
		Hunter deployment accelerated, with the aircraft replacing the Sabres, Vampires and Venoms of Fighter Command and RAF Germany.
		Participating in the 1965 and 1971 conflicts with Pakistan, the Hunter proved to be a formidable ground attack aircraft and took a heavy toll of Pakistani armour.

		A little known aspect of Hawker Hunter operations is the ingenious adaptation of a number of Hunter FGA9 aircraft by the Royal Rhodesian Air Force (RRAF) to undertake fighter reconnaissance missions during the countries bloody struggle with nationalist guerrillas in the early 1970’s.
		The first RRAF Hunter arrived on 20 Dec 60 and by 15 May 63 the final aircraft was delivered to 1 Sqn at RRAF Thornhill, near Gwelo in the Central Highlands, bringing the squadron up to its full strength of 12 aircraft.

	Hawker Hunter in detail
		The first prototype Hunter was aerodynamically cleaned up and reconfigured for a world speed record attempt in 1953 by installing a stronger engine with reheat, twin airbrakes and a pointed nose cone.
		As an interceptor, the Hunter was soon outperformed and replaced by the English Electric Lightning, which was a fully supersonic plane whereas the Hunter had to go into a dive to become supersonic.
		Hunters were still used in various secondary roles in ever diminishing numbers well into the 80´s by the RAF and the RN plus several smaller establishments.

		The longest serving version of the Hunter, (in RAF service at least) was the two seat Hunter T7 which was used for weapons and advanced training, one example still being used by the Empire Test Pilots School as late as 2002.
		The Hunter's performance was sufficiently beyond that of exisiting training aircraft, such as the Balliol and Vampire, to warrant such an aircraft.

	Australia's Museum of Flight - Hawker Hunter.
		Considered by many to have been the most aesthetically pleasing jet fighter ever built, the Hawker Hunter was the world's first multi-role jet combat aircraft and Britain's first trans-sonic jet fighter.
		It was also the last aircraft designed by the famous H G Hawker Engineering Company founded in 1920 by the Australian-born aviation pioneer, Harry Hawker.
		It was originally built for the Royal Air Force as an F4 model, which was the first Hunter variant to have a decent operational range (courtesy of the additional under wing fuel tanks).

	Hawker Hunter FR.74
		Although the Hunter was being retired from frontline service in Britain by the start of the 1970s, new variants continued to be developed with the Mk.12 and T.8M, the latter arriving as late as 1979.
		These losses were mainly among the Hunters configured for ground attack, laden down with bombs and operating at the limit of their range making them easy prey for the missile armed fighters.
		As more surplus Hunters become available, it is becoming a sought after aircraft with the Warbird and Classic aircraft fraternity around the world and a popular performer (it certainly attracts attention because of its sheer volume) at air shows.
