| T.68 J-4201 at Kemble, 22nd July 2001; author | T.68 J-4202 at Lanseria, February 1998; Stefan Weber |
| Seen here tucking her gear up on take-off at Kemble for the Hawker Hunter 50th Anniversary Air Day, J-4201 is another ex-Swiss AF Hunter. Operated by Amici dell'Hunter in Switzerland and flown by a trio of ex-SAF pilots (now all flying for Swissair), passenger flights are available! For around £2,500 you can experience an hour in a Hunter, flying in the spectacular scenery of the Swiss Alps. Interested parties, get on over to the Amici dell'Hunter web site! J-4201 was converted from an ex-RAF aircraft - F.4 WV332 - see that entry for further details. | Here's ex-Swiss Air Force T.68 J-4202, which is flying in private hands in South Africa. She's pictured at Lanseria shortly after Stefan Weber flew her there. At one point it looked like the OFMC were going to buy her but they settled on getting a couple of T.7s back in the air instead. She's now owned by Ron Wheeldon and based at Thunder City. J-4202 was originally built as an F.4 for the RAF and served with 3 and 111 Squadrons plus 229 OCU before being placed into storage and sold back to Hawker-Siddeley. They converted it to a T.68 and sold it to the Swiss Air Force who took delivery in 1975, flying her until retirement in 1994. Once again, as with J-4059, Ron acquired her when the museum that intended to take her failed to finish the deal. As this enabled him to get training time on the Hunter and fly his single-seater, it's a good job too! |

| T.68 J-4205 at Kemble, 22nd July 2001; author | FGA.71 J-702 at Los Cerrillos, May 1st 1997; Alvaro Andre Romero Perez |
| J-4205 served with 24 Squadron in both training and ECM roles. She's seen here in company with 'J-4015' (J-4040), J-4205 does a neat double act with the aforementioned single seater - the pilots really know how to show them off. She's available for passenger flights at around £2,500 for an hour - check out the Fliegermuseum web site for more details. | Among the Hunters on charge to Chile's national air museum is this one, now displayed on the gate at Los Cerillos AB. |

| Stored along with J-724 at Chile's national aviation museum is J-722; hopefully it will be put on display somewhere soon. | Stored along with J-722 at Chile's national aviation museum is J-724; again, hopefully it will be put on display somewhere soon. |

| FGA.71 J-744 at at Santiago, 1998; Alvaro Andre Romero Perez | FGA.71 J-747 at Hazerim, April 1999; Serge Batoussov |
| One of several Hunters preserved in Chile is J-744, which looks to be in excellent condition, on display outside the new aviation museum. | An ex RAF, ex IAF, ex-Chilean example, this Hunter is the only one to be found in Israel and is displayed at the Israeli Air Force Museum, with Jordanian markings! It was exchanged for a Mystere IVA and has been in Israel since late 1989. |

| FGA.71 J-750 at Santiago, Chile, 1998; Alvaro Andre Romero Perez | FGA.71 J-7?? at Santiago; FACH |
| Proudly displayed at the entrance to Chile's impressive new air museum, the Museo Nacional Aeron utico y del Espacio, is J-750, in beautiful condition like many of the other exhibits. Looks like a place that's well worth a visit! | The Chilean Air Force (FACH) have this unidentified Hunter-on-a-stick outside their Air War Academy in Santiago. The bombs on the wings no doubt underline the fact that it's the War Academy! |
