Hawker Hunter - Transonic Ground Attack Fighter and Trainer

The Hunter was the first jet powered Hawker aircraft to be procured by the RAF. Developed in the late 1940`s/early 1950`s, the single seat version was introduced in 1954 as an interceptor aircraft. During the 1960`s it transitioned to the roles of fighter-bomber and aerial reconnaissance. Two-seat variants were used for training and secondary roles with the RAF and Royal Navy until the 1990`s. The Hunter was widely exported serving 21 overseas air forces. It is seen here fitted with rockets and air-to-air guided missiles. It is also at SBAC 1954 landing using reverse thrust, then later at SBAC 1960 a two seater version flown by test pilot, Bill Bedford. Final segments include flight trials at the RAE with electro-optics proving high-speed, low level night flying; and development of Active Control or `Fly by Wire.` Website: htps://airsciences.org.uk
