Hunter Questions

Member Mat Potulski (Hawker Hunter Aviation) needs help on the following to keep his Hunters flying.

1. When Hawkers converted F4 airframes to take the Avon 200 was the whole centre fuselage replaced or were there individual modifications?

2. The above airframes were re-lifed to zero hours standard. What did this re-lifing programme encompass; which airframe components were replaced or modified?

3. Hunter fatigue test data is needed, particularly the applied loads and their frequency and the sortie profiles on which the loading was based. Does anyone have, or know where to find,original Hunter fatigue test reports?
