History & design
From RAF fighter to overseas ground attack
The Hunter entered RAF service in July 1954 with fully powered flying controls. As the Lightning took over the interceptor role from 1960, the Hunter continued in ground attack. A 1958 competition selected a modified F6 to replace the Venom in the Middle East; the first FGA9 flew in July 1959.
That adaptation gave the airframe a second operational chapter, including overseas service until the last Hunter ground-attack squadron, No. 8, disbanded in 1971. The RAF Museum’s FGA9 history establishes this British development path. The Swiss Mk.58 represented by SwissMilSim is a different national variant and should be identified from its own manual and equipment list.
