Default UK2 XF378 Hawker HunterF6.jpg

Not your ordinary Hunter F6. This one never saw squandron service and
was "owned" by the Ministry of supply for use in development of the DH
Firestreak air-to-air missile, a configuration which never became
operational.

Other oddities are that the aircraft came from an early batch of F6s
that didn't have the leading edge extensions (most were retrofitted)
and that 2 of it's 4 Adens 30mm guns were removed for missile trials.
There are also no "Sabrina" link collectors.
