Aircraft information and history:

April 1968: Flt Lt Alan Pollock flew between the spans of Tower Bridge to protest the lack of recognition surround the RAF's 50th Anniversary.

Proving the old adage 'if it looks right, than it is right', the Hawker Hunter was a thing of aviation beauty, streamlined and cultured, but deadly fighting aeroplane at heart. Underlying the Hunter's adaptability, the FGA.9 variant was developed in response to an RAF requirement to replace ground attack Venoms serving with units in the Middle East and was basically an F.6 airframe optimised for close air support operations. Strengthening then Hunter's wing enabled it to carry an impressive array of offensive ordnance, with the FGA.9 presenting the RAF with one of their most capable ground attack fighters. 128 Hunters FGA.9's would see service with home based and overseas squadrons.
