The Hawker Hunter F.6 was an advanced variant of the iconic British jet-powered fighter aircraft developed by Hawker Aircraft in the 1950s. The F.6 model, introduced in 1956, featured a more powerful Rolls-Royce Avon engine, a redesigned wing to reduce drag and increase stability, and modifications to the tailplane for better high-speed performance. Known for its speed, agility, and reliable handling, the Hunter F.6 served with the Royal Air Force (RAF) and several international air forces, excelling as both an interceptor and ground-attack aircraft.

The F.6 variant was notably used by the RAF’s aerobatic display team, the Black Arrows, 111 Squadron, who gained fame in the late 1950s. In 1958, the Black Arrows set a record by performing a formation loop with 22 Hunters, a feat that remains unmatched. The team's precise, large-scale formations and skilled displays made them a symbol of British aviation prowess and contributed to the Hunter's reputation as one of the finest jet fighters of its era.
