The Hawker Hunter is the longest serving British jet fighter. As of this writing three are still serving with the Royal Air Force.
In July of 1951, the first Hawker Hunter took to the sky. Test pilots found that it could go supersonic in a dive.
The first aircraft were deployed in mid 1954. Initially aircraft
had problems when their guns firing caused the engine to flame out, but
this was quickly remedied. Other changes to the aircraft, as it developed, increased engine reliability, fuel and ordnance.
Many countries around the world used the Hawker Hunter. They saw action with
the Indian Air Force in their fights with Pakistan. Eight Pakistani
jets were claimed as downed by Indian aircraft.
British Hawker Hunter aircraft saw action against Egyptian ground targets during the Suez campaign.
Jordanian Hunters were deployed against Israel during the Six Day War.
Today many of the aircraft can be found in museum displays and performing at air shows throughout the world.
A total of over 1,970 Hawker Hunter aircraft were manufactured.
