EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Hawker Hunter T.Mk.53 ET-272 (msn 41H/696747) in its role as a gate guard at Biggin Hill Airport on 17th June 1989. The Hawker Hunter, a British single-engine jet fighter and interceptor aircraft, was a iconic military aircraft that first flew in 1951. This specific aircraft, ET-272, was originally a two-seat trainer version, but its nose was replaced with that of a Hunter F.6, XJ690. The Hunter's sleek and powerful design, with its distinctive delta wing and intake configuration, make it a standout among the other aircraft at the airport. The replacement of the two-seat nose with that of a single-seat fighter version adds an extra layer of intrigue to this already impressive machine. The Hawker Hunter continued to serve in various roles with the Royal Air Force and other air forces around the world until its retirement in the late 20th century. This photograph, from The Tony Lovelock Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the history of aviation and the enduring legacy of the Hawker Hunter.
