I don't know where this misunderstanding comes from; the FG1 ramps (I never flew the FGR2) certainly were. IIRC they started to move as we accelerated through Mach 1.4

The only Borneo bases used by the 60 & 64 Sqn Javelins were Kuching and Labuan. During my time "in theatre" (1963-66) the same was true for the 20 Sqn Hunters.

For once, CM's post didn't tell me much and I don't mind confessing I don't know (but would like to) what a Command QFI is. Is it just modern terminology for a Trapper of some sort?

The Hunter GA 11 were surely F4 converted for the Navy and so had the same 7.500 lb thrust Avon 115 ( or 121) as the T7 & T8. The higher thrust (10,000 lb) Avon 203 was first fitted to the F6.

PN

Two of theses items are in fact correct. In common with most of the Hunter 7&8s it was originally a Hunter F4 until it was converted to T7 standard by adding the two-seat nose section.
