| No thread on Post War British Jets could be without the Hunter. These are FRADU Hunters and the only fast jets that I have flown in. My Gliding Instructor used to take me up in a T7 that they had when they didn't need the seat for anything else. Must have broken every rule in the book as I was only 17 at the time. |

Country: | You wouldn't call it good if it buzzed you flying at thirty feet while you were trying to fix a Lightning ... one of dads friends had that experienced, it knocked him off the Lightning ....he fell on the re-fueling probe, then the Red Top then to the ground in a heap.

Country: | Surprisingly he wasn't that badly injured, just a few bruises on his back but he only spent like thirty minutes in the med center, and then he was back on the line for the rest of the exercise.

| We loved the Buccaner. The only plane in the world that could catch it on the deck was the F111, and its range on the deck was first class compared to almost anything else.
Even the RAF liked it after turning there noses up at it for many years before it was forced on them. I must have a photo somewhere and will try to dig one out. | |
