Thus, second generation fast jets were brick built **** houses with massive generators, engines that could eat birds and launch a man into space and hydraulic pumps that could power a JCB.
Not so in the Hunter! Select gear and flap together during the break with thrust at idle and it'd go into manual!

Rather than uprate the single hydraulic pump, the solution was to brief the pilots accordingly.
