The Hawker Hunter was one of the most iconic jet fighters of the Cold War era, renowned for its elegant lines, swept wings, and powerful Rolls-Royce Avon engine. First flown in 1951 and entering service with the RAF in 1954, the Hunter served with over 20 air forces worldwide and remained operational in some roles into the 1990s.
This category showcases high-resolution archival prints of Hawker Hunters in flight, on takeoff, and in display configurations—captured by aviation photographer Stuart H. Bourne. Featured airframes include Swiss Air Force F.58s, RAF T.7 trainers, and privately operated variants like F-AZHS (J-2001), each with verified serials and historical context.
Whether you're drawn to the Hunter’s distinctive cruciform tail, its role in NATO air defense, or its post-service life in civilian hands, these images offer a visually rich tribute to one of Britain’s finest jet designs.
