Michou Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 The last Hunter Wiederholungskurs (annual training of the Swiss militia) took place in November, 1993 at St Stephan. The Sun may have been shining but it was cold! The aerodrome is 1000m above sea level and the temperature remained below zero all day. It was so cold that the batteries in my camera ceased working a couple of times and I had to warm them in an inside pocket close to my body. These are Hunter F.58s of Fliegerstaffel 15.

Pete in Lincs Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 And I agree too. A lovely looking Aeroplane. I did a little work on them in RAF training. Years ago I remember seeing a picture of Swiss Hunters hanging from the ceiling in a mountain cave. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stever219 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 There’s something about the tones and contrasts in those images that make them appear as though they’re significantly older than they are. Absolutely beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely beautiful. Those aircraft ARE old! - thirty-four years of service and about 2600 hours of flight time. Mike 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
