Description
One of Britain s classic postwar jet aircraft, the Hawker Hunter first entered RAF service as a single-seat fighter in July 1954. It was later operated in the fighter-bomber and fighter-reconnaissance roles in RAF service, taking part in numerous conflicts around the globe, together with its twin seater variant, which was also heavily involved in trainer and second line duties until the early 1990s. The Hunter also served with the Royal Navy s Fleet Air Arm and was widely exported, serving with over twenty other countries air forces and these Hunters in foreign service will be covered in a future AIRfile title."
