Swiss Air Force Hunter...

Peter, the one that was different was the 'green T12' (can't remember its tail number XF321?) at Farnborough which crashed on take off in the early 80's I think - that had a 'big' Avon inside & I think therefore that the rear fuselage was a lot different, but probably only internally.

Well I flew the FGA9s mainly and they were certainly different from others internally...They had 2 REAR fuel tanks of 26 Gallons capacity each wrapped round the jet pipe. They were each complete with a "Rear tanks explosion protection system". I don't think any of the other marks had Rear Tanks, but not certain about "Foreign Marks" of Hunter. No Two Seaters that I flew had these Rear Tanks. Another change in the FGA9 was the addition of a Tail Parachute housing. We used the tail parachutes for all landings at Nairobi Airport.
