Thanks first of all, some great hunter footage. One difference of opinion though. The Hunter, with its swept wings plus axial flow turbojet must surely be considered second generation, replacing Meteor/Vampire/Venom first gen fighters in front line squadrons. I do appreciate the dividing lines cn be little fuzzy, but Hunter was a clear step forward from its centrifugl flow powered forerunners.

It was good that you explained "Sabrinas". Most commentators gloss over it. I worked on F6 and FGA9 Hunters in my time in the RAF. As an armourer, I must have removed and fitted Gun Packs - and therefore the Sabrinas - thousands of times.

between 1963 - 1996 the Indian Air Force operated 133 Hawker Hunter Mk56 multi role interdictor strike fighter & 58 Hawker Hunter Mk56 FGA9 multi role ground attack fighter . . . the Hawker Hunter Mk56 multi role interdictor strike fighter being a day time only multi role fighter severely limited it's capabilities, especially during war time situation that required 100% battle ready preparedness . . . the air force received it's first ever supersonic day/night all weather multi role fighter in 1962 . . . the Mikoyan-Gurevich MIG-21FL multi role air dominance fighter (NATO : Fishbed) from Russia . . . over time & evolving technology some Hawker Hunter Mk56 multi role interdictor strike fighter airframes were modified with back lit cockpit instruments for night time air-to-ground strike missions & pilots wore NVGs but that only achieved very very limited success . . .

back in the 1960s & 1970s all the way through to 1990 the Indian Air Force operated a fleet of 183 brand new Hawker Hunter F6A Mk56 multi role fighter and 128 Hawker Hunter FGA9 Mk56A multi role ground attack fighter . . . at the time the only grouse with the Hawker Hunter FGA9 Mk56A multi role fighter was the fact that it couldn't be flown at night . . . this severely impeded IAF's ability to retaliate in a aerial attack by the enemy . . . in addition to the 4 forward fuselage mounted 30 MM Aden revolver internal cannon all Indian Hawker Hunter FGA9 Mk56A multi role ground attack fighter could also be armed with SNEB 68 MM Matra rocket pods & AIM-9E Sidewinder infrared guided (Block III) air-to-air missile attached to under wing weapons hard points . . . it is said that upgraded Hawker Hunter FGA9 Mk56A multi role ground attack fighter of the Indian Air Force could also be armed with French made AS.20 MCLOS guided medium range air-to-surface missile & AS-30L semi-active laser homing guided air-to-surface missile . . . not to mention AS37 Martel radar guided anti-radiation missile . . . however this fact has been disputed for a long time & still ongoing even years after the Hawker Hunter FGA9 Mk56A multi role ground attack fighter was retired from active service in 1990 . . .

There are some angles where the Hunter is ‘meh,’ but most are ‘wah! Beautiful!’ I guess I’m similar with the F-35; I just don’t think it looks good from either profile, but the top-down and bottom-up views are pretty vicious looking. Must be the stealth nose.

@@yarmud I wouldn't agree with that. The lightening was a very good interceptor on a par with its US & Soviet counterparts and the harrier in particular was unlike any other combat aircraft of its time. I'd say British aircraft design went down in the 70's as from them on the UK quite wisely started to do joint projects with other nations that produced good aircraft (jaguar,tornado etc)

@@yarmud Falklands 82. Sea Harrier losses (0) vs IAI Dagger A losses (11). Add to that FMA IA 58 Pucará losses (1), A-4Q Skyhawk Navy losses (3), Mirage IIIEA losses (1) and finally B.Mk62 Canberra losses (1). All on an untested type thousands of miles away from home on enemy turf for ZERO losses due to enemy action. Looks pretty legendary to me TBH. What other asset - as you put it - even compares to the Harrier? There's nothing until the F35. Even the Russians (USSR) took till 87 to even get a VTOL flying. A Challenger Mk I with the callsign 11B fired at an Iraqi MBT from a distance of more than 5,100 meters - just above three miles - with an APFSDS round, the longest confirmed tank-on-tank kill ever. No “Dorchester” armoured Challenger 2 has ever been knocked out of action by any anti-tank weapon (even US “friendly fire”) despite multiple hits. Again tested in battle not in YT pissing competitions. Also looks pretty legendary to me too. The average assets (T72s) in the Iraqi army got destroyed or just ran away PDQ! The Avro Vulcan (came just 11 years after Avro Lancaster) that in exercises nuked the USA TWICE not to mention performed the longest bombing raids in history during the Falklands in 82, Operation Black Bucks 1-7. A feat only recently equalled during Operation Enduring Freedom in 2001 by US B2s in Afghanistan. Pretty legendary too! Comparison to the Vulcan when it first came into service...Nothing really!
