Hi All
Excuse my ignorance but can anyone tell me what the 4 small blisters on the nose of the swiss hunters are for.

The Swiss Hunter were highly moded beast’s some were sidewinder capable some were maverick capable (with the TV creen in the cockpit), loads of lumps and bumps and not forgetting the extra hard points in front of the wheel bays(a real b*****d when you forgot about them when walking under the wing wheres the first-aid kit lol)

Scott, I think you are referring to the small blisters on the extreme nose just behind the radome? If so these are the threat warning receivers added to the Swiss Hunters as part of their many upgrades. There are a similar set mounted each side of the tail bullet at the junction of the fin and tailplanes.
The “sabrinas” that Glen referrs to are the link collectors, which were a feature of almost all Hunters, although the Swiss extended them rearwards to incorporate chaff and flare dispensers.
