I think all Hunter pilots were terrified of flying at night - woofters all of them.
I remember seeing one near tears at Leuchars during an exercise when the prospect arose. On the Hunter conversion course at Chivenor the students flew (I think it was) only one solo night trip and on that only the wings tanks were filled 'in case we went too far away'
The a/c was, after all, known as a DFGA - Day Fighter Ground Attack machine.
