Hawker-Siddeley Hunter F.4, Cockpit Section
Cosford, Hangar Four Aircraft & Exhibits
The Hunter was the first high-speed jet fighter with radar and fully-powered flying controls to go into widespread service with the Royal Air Force.
The Hunter was one of Britain's most successful post-war jet fighters; over 1000 were purchased by the RAF. Entering service in July 1954 the Hunter became the RAF’s standard single-seat fighter, replacing Meteor, Sabre and Venom aircraft. From 1960 Lightnings began to supersede the Hunter in Fighter Command.
