It entered service in 1959 and became a massive export success, serving in 21 foreign air forces worldwide.

Key Aspects of the Hawker Hunter History:
Development and Origin: The Hawker Hunter was developed as a swept-wing British transonic fighter and evolved from an interceptor into a highly successful fighter-bomber. Later marks improved the Avon engine installation, fuel capacity, handling, and weapons capability.
Military and Combat Operations: RAF Hunters served extensively in Europe and overseas, while export Hunters saw combat with several foreign air forces. The FGA.9 became the RAF’s principal ground-attack Hunter.
Foreign Operators: The Hunter became one of Britain’s most successful export fighters and served with numerous air forces in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and South America.
Upgrades and Retirement: The family progressed through fighter and fighter-bomber marks before being replaced in front-line RAF service by newer supersonic types, although Hunters remained in training and specialist roles for many years.
Design and Armament: Typical armament included four 30 mm ADEN cannon plus bombs, rockets, external fuel tanks, and other stores depending on variant.
