Hunter F-58 ZZ190

Hi all I have a photo of Hunter F-58 ZZ190 taken at the Coningsby families day last weekend. Its been pointed out to me that ZZ190 has cameras in the front fuselage.

Are the cameras a local mod by HHA or is it a mod by the Swiss AF and does every Swiss Hunter have the fit?

Last lightning:
Your Flickr photo for ZZ190 states that she is former Swiss Mk58 J4058. Just to keep your info up to date, she was J4066, then G-HHAE before gaining military registration
ZZ190. J4058 is now ZZ191 and was also formerly G-HHAD
Dave F68 is correct – all our swiss aircraft have AN-ALE40 Chaff / Flare dispensers fitted in the port and stbd Sabrinas

The gun packs are standards Swiss ones, but they were not fitted with cameras – they contain Flare/chaff dispensers. When fitted, the flare/chaff cartridges make up the usual square’ pattern.

J-4021 was at Duxford where I photographed it in 1998 and also appears to have the camera pack.
