Hawker Sea Hunter

 

The Admiralty, impressed by the performance of the Hawker Hunter in RAF service commissioned Hawker to produce a trials aircraft, converted for carrier use in 1958. Hawker's added wing folding, an arrester hook and catapult stays. The first squadron of Hawker Sea Hunters went to see on HMS EAGLE in 1960.

Apologies for the poor quality of the pictures. I'll take better pictures once I find my real camera, these were taken with my webcam. Special thanks to Narses2 who supplied the decals.

 

More pictures with a better camera:
