Historical description:

The Hawker Hunter F.6 was one of the most important British jet fighters of the Cold War era, widely used by the RAF from the mid-1950s. The aircraft took part in numerous NATO operations and was exported to over a dozen countries. Pilot comfort and safety, including seat belts, were crucial elements in modern fighter cockpit designs.
