If you think you have a new one first download the attached folder first. All finds to the time of the update are in it. If there is no placemark on your find, it's a new one.
The Hawker Hunter was a British jet fighter aircraft of the 1950s and 1960s. The Hunter served for many years with the Royal Air Force and was widely exported, serving with 19 air forces. A total of 1,972 Hunters were produced by Hawker Siddeley and under licence
Description
The Hunter was a conventional all-metal monoplane. The pilot sat on a Martin-Baker 2H or 3H ejector seat. The two seat trainer version used the Mk.4H ejection seats. The fuselage was of monocoque construction, with a removable rear section for engine maintenance. The engine was fed through triangular air intakes in the wing roots and had a single jetpipe in the rear of the fuselage. The mid-mounted wings had a leading edge sweep of 35 degrees and slight anhedral. The tailplanes and fin were also swept. The controls were completely conventional. A single airbrake was fitted under the ventral rear fuselage. The aircraft had conventional retractable tricycle landing gear. A noteworthy feature of the single seat fighter version was the armament of four 30 mm ADEN cannon. The cannon and ammunition boxes were contained in a single pack that could be removed from the aircraft for rapid re-arming and maintenance. Interestingly, the barrels of the cannon remained in the aircraft when the pack was removed. In the two seat version, either a single ADEN Cannon was carried or, in some export versions, two ADEN Cannons, with a removable ammunition tank. A simple Ekco ranging radar was fitted in the nose.

Belgium and Netherlands produced the Hunter under license.

Sorry Josie! When I went there last Summer, it WAS outside! LOL!
You know there's a Hunter (which is the only jet I flew when I was in the Navy 35 years ago!) AND a Vulcan at St Faiths, just to the North West of Norwich, Norfolk?
