About This File

Hawker Hunter Mk 50

 

Export version of the Hunter F 4 fighter for Sweden.

Never fitted with the "sawtooth" wing.

 

Swedish designation J-34, 120 built, delivered to RSAF from 1955 to 1957.

 

 

NUMBERS: 34001-34120

 

 

SERVICE: 1955/1969

 

The two fighter wings in Stockholm, F 18 at Tullinge and F 8 at Barkaby,

each got 60 Hunters during 1955-57, trading-in their J 28B Vampire and J-29 Tunnan.

J-34 Hunter remained an important part of the Swedish air defence until the late 1960's.

It gained a reputation for beeing robust and usable under field conditions.

F.9 at Save and F.10 at Angelholm had J-34 later from F.8 and F. 18.

The launch rails for two Sidewinders were not initially carried, but added as an upgrade on 1960.

 

 

 

UNITS (Wings):

 

- F.18 at Tullinge 8/1955 - 1961 disbanded - J-34 to F.9/F.10

 

- F.8 at Barkarby 10/1956 - 1962 Draken conversion - J-34 to F.9/F.10

 

- F.9 at Säve (Gothenburg) (ex F.8/F.18 planes) 1962/1969 - last operator

 

- F.10 at Ängelholm (ex F.8/F.18 planes) 1963/1967 - then J-34 to F.9

 

 

N.B. each wing had 3 squadrons (10 planes) Red, Blue and Jellow

 

 

Until 1964 the planes had red, blue or yellow letters on the tail (F.18 didn't use letter code "I"),

then a red, blue or yellow band on the nose and white numbers on the tail.

These id signs where reproduced on the nose gear door, too.

 

 

WHAT's IN:

 

Two plane versions Mk 50 base and with launch rails for two Sidewinders

 

6 + 19 Skin variations for all the 4 wings and 12 Squadrons plus F18 Acro Hunter Team as a bonus.

 

Badges, Numbers, letters etc. ..... F18 planes don't have "I"
