| JUST WHERE ARE THE FRADU's HAWKER HUNTERS TODAY? |
| Below is a list of 43 Hawker Hunter aeroplanes that served with the Fleet Requirements and Air Direction Unit (FRADU) at RNAS Yeovilton between 1972 and 1995. Almost all the airframes had seen earlier service with the Fleet Air Arm's second line Hunter Squadrons, such as 738 NAS, 759NAS and 764 NAS before being moved onto FRADU's strength at various times, some entering FRADU service as late as 1983. (For more information on the Hunter's life with these Squadrons please see 'The FAA Hunter Sqns' section above) Clicking a serial will bring up the service history of that particular airframe in addition to a slideshow containing a minimum of five images showing it at various stages of its career with the FRADU unit, and if applicable its life as a privately owned civilian aeroplane. Airframes are sorted listed in fleet number order beginning with the prefix 8, as they would have been in 1988 (aeroplanes that had been withdrawn or written off before this date are listed under its last active identity). |
