First flown on 20 July 1951, it was a swept-wing single-seat interceptor powered by either a Rolls-Royce Avon or Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire turbojet engine. The Hunter achieved fame in 1953 when it captured the world air speed record at 727.63 mph, and served as the RAF's primary day fighter for over three decades. With 1,972 aircraft manufactured by Hawker Aircraft and later Hawker Siddeley, it represented Britain's most exported jet fighter of its generation.
