Product Description
AA32713 - Hawker Hunter F6 - 74 Sqdn 'Sailor Malan' RAF Horsham St Faith
No. 74 Sqn was formed on July 1st 1917 as a training Sqn for the RFC. They were remobilised on March 1st 1918, as a 'service' Sqn. 74 Sqn then moved to France where they were equipped with SE5 single seat aircraft. Whilst in France, 74 Sqn was nicknamed 'Tiger Squadron' because of the aggressive spirit shown by their pilots. That is why we now see the Tigers head on 74 Sqn aircraft. No. 74 Sqn re-equipped with Hawker Hunter F.4s at Horsham St. Faith in March 1957. These were supplemented by F.Mk.6s in November that year, with several aircraft being painted with a fascimile of Sailor Malans signature on the nose in recognition of Adolf Sailor Malan, 74 Sqns famous Battle of Britain Ace. No. 74 Sqn moved to Coltishall, in June 1959 and was re-equipped with the Lightning in 1960.
