It was initially intended to use the Hunter’s wing flaps as airbrakes in addition to their main function of providing additional lift. However, the resulting pitch change made them unsuitable and a ventral airbrake, seen here deployed on GA.11 WB188, was subsequently adopted.

A classic photograph of a classic aircraft. The Swiss Air Force was one of the last to operate the Hunter. This F Mk.58 is seen in the colours of the Swiss aerobatic team, Patrouille Suisse, and incorporates a number of relatively recent modifications, such as radar warning receivers on the side of the nose and rear bullet fairing.

This view of FGA.9 XE601 clearly shows the bullet fairing at the fin/tailplane junction, which was fitted to alleviate severe buffeting which occurred at high speed due to flow separation in the region.

Although designed from the outset as a trainer, the single-seat Hawk 200 variant has a potent operational capability for air-to-air and ground attack. The second Hawk 200 demonstrator aircraft is shown here, armed with eight low-drag general purpose bombs.

Among the features illustrated in this plan view of a Royal Malaysian Air Force Hawk Mk 208 are its distinctive wing planform and underwing stores stations.

Addition of a radar nose and displacement of the single-seat cockpit deprives the Hawk 200 of the elegance of its two-seat trainer stablemates, but gives it a purposeful military air. The Royal Air Force of Oman, two of whose aircraft are shown here, was the first customer for this light combat aircraft.
