EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Hawker P.1101 Hunter T Mk.7 prototype, registration XJ615, after undergoing significant modifications to address severe airflow problems caused by the initial canopy shape. The image was taken in 1956, following the first flight of the Hunter T Mk.7 on 8 July 1955. The prototype, manufactured by Hawker, was fitted with a definitive canopy and fairing to rectify the aerodynamic issues. After successful flight tests were completed, XJ615 was delivered to the Royal Air Force on 1 May 1959. However, the aircraft was unfortunately written off on 24 June 1964. This image provides a glimpse into the evolution of the Hunter series, showcasing the importance of continuous design improvements in aeronautical engineering.
