Recommended Posts

Hi

Can anyone shed some light on the color of the intakes interior of the white/dark sea gray Hawker Hunter GA.11? Thank you. A link to a photo of this area is very much appreciated.

Iused to work at RAF Kemble as an aircraft sprayer in the early 60's and the few naval versions we had through had the intakes sprayed white.

Hi Kalla,

Just beware, the grey used to paint the upper parts of early GA11's was Extra Dark Sea grey. Dark Sea grey was only used on those GA11's / T8's painted in the overall grey scheme, circa 1984 onwards.

A big THANK YOU to all for your help. :thumbsup:

Were the colors of the wheel wells, doors, and struts on the Ex. Dk. Sea grey/white birds white too? It’s hard to tell from the few old pics I have.

Kalla,

the wheel wells and the inside of the doors were painted in aluminium. That also goes for the main wheels. In essence, they remained much as they had done when F 4s.
