Type : Hawker Hunter Mk.4 Program : FS2004 and FSX, pack with 2 repaints Model : Dave Garwood Operator : RNethAF Download : Compleet aircraft
The Hawker Hunter designed by Sir Sydney Camm's design team made its maiden flight in 1951. A consortium of Fokker, Aviolanda, De Schelde in the Netherlands and Avions Fairey, SABCA and FN-Herstal in Belgium was commissioned in 1953 to produce 445 aircraft under license. FN-Herstal built the engines, while Fokker, SABCA and Fairey took care of the construction of the aircraft. Fokker built 189 Hunters Mk.4 and Mk.6 for the KLu plus 104 aircraft for the Belgians. 152 Hunters were built in Belgium. In the Netherlands, the Hunters replaced the Gloster Meteors. The first six Hunters Mk.4 for the Royal Netherlands Air Force were built at Hawker in England, while the other 90 aircraft were built by Fokker. The Mk.6 had a more powerful engine, sawtooth wings, improved steering and additional fuel pylons under the wings. The already delivered Mk.4 were later brought up to Mk.6 level. From 1963 to the end of 1968, the Hunters were gradually replaced by the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter. In total1,969 Hunters were built. From October 1960 to September 1962 the first 12 Hunter Mk.4 aircraft flew with no. 322 squadron in Dutch New Guinea at Biak. At the end of December 1961, another 14 Hunter Mk.6 were added. Under pressure from the United Nations, Dutch New Guinea was handed over to Indonesia in 1962 and the Hunters went back to the Netherlands. The Mk.4 N- 110 flew very shortly with the flag of Papua New Guinea on its tail. A pratical joke of the ground crew. In view of the tense political situation the commander in chief was "not amused" and the aircraft had to be brought back in its original livery.
