I’ve been asked if I can find a suitable image of two airborne RAF Hunters to be used as the subject of a painting.
I’ve tried Googling, but came up with very few images of RAF Hunters in the air. Most of those that I found were of current airworthy examples, so can anyone come up with any images of airborne Hunters in RAF service that would make a good painting, either from the Internet or books, that they could post here?

Cheers PL.
It’s for a pencil sketch so black and white is no problem.

Yes, Geoff, that’s the book, although all the pix in it are black and white.
Sorry about the late reply, got stranded in Copenhagen today (missed the one and only train this evening) and had to fly back SAS. Must the the most expensive journey in Europe! 200 quid for 300 miles! At least I got some pix to put on the Commercial Forum!

Cheers Martin. I’ll pass them on to the artist.
Remember folks it’s ‘in-service’ RAF images I’m looking for.
