If ever there was a real pilot's aeroplane it was the Hunter; an
outstanding multi-purpose aircraft which excelled in the roles of
interceptor fighter, ground attack, reconnaissance, research
vehicle and two-seater trainer, not forgetting its dramatic
formation aerobatic performances. The Hunter is one of the world's
greatest aircraft. For three decades, pilots have enthused about
it, extolling the virtues of its smooth, aerodynamic lines, 4 x
30mm cannon, the Rolls-Royce Avon engine, and its outstandingly
honest handling characteristics combined with a lively performance.
It saw operational deployment in Europe with Fighter Command and
2nd TAF, in Cyprus, the Middle East and the Far East, operating in
the ground-attack role against rebels in Aden and Malaysia
respectively. The Hunter was a classic thoroughbred of its time,
from the stables of one of the finest fighter manufacturers in the
world and, for fifty years, its adaptability was rarely challenged.
Although the last example was retired in July 2001, the Hunter
legend undoubtedly lives on, with 114 potentially airworthy
airframes located in fourteen countries around the world. Here, the
legendary tale of the Hunter is told in words and images.
