Bring back the Hunter

What is needed is a simple load carrying reliable bomb carrying airframe (Hunter) that is not festooned with gobbly gook electronics and anything not able to be fixed by speed tape and a multi meter. Ah, and while we are on that case a few more Harriers so huge airbases and runways not required.
Well done Hawkers just like 1940 when you supplied a shed load of Hurricanes (when they were needed) which then went on to pioneer the use of said machines for the carrying of Rockets, Bombs, and 4 cannon in a single eng machine, with the odd twin 40mm for dealing with tanks.
Bin the Arrows, and just get the Hunter boys and girls to recreate the Farnborough Loop every now and again.
