These walk-around photos were taken at the RAF Museum London in Hendon in 2019. They show a Hawker Hunter FGA.9, serial XG154, displayed in the combined markings of Nos. 8 and 43 Squadrons of the Aden Strike Wing at RAF Khormaksar. The Hunter was universally regarded as one of the finest fighter aircraft of its era — beautifully proportioned, responsive and capable — and the FGA.9 was a dedicated ground attack variant developed from the F.6, fitted with a more powerful Avon engine and pylons for rockets, bombs and external fuel. It replaced the Venom in the Middle East from 1960 and became the RAF's primary ground attack aircraft in the region, flying operations against insurgents in Aden and on the Radfan until the British withdrawal in 1967. Built originally as an F.6, XG154 was converted to FGA.9 standard in 1960 and went on to serve with Nos. 43 and 8 Squadrons at Khormaksar in Aden as part of the strike wing, flying ground attack missions and dawn strikes during the Aden Emergency. It later served with No. 208 Squadron, No. 229 OCU and No. 1 Tactical Weapons Unit, accumulating over 5,500 flying hours before retirement. On 25 July 1984 it took part in the final formation flight of single-seat Hunters in RAF service. It has been on display at Hendon since 1990.
