The Last Swiss Hunter has been grounded
Following the earlier grounding of the Hunter T.68 J-4201/HB-RVR
which has now been sold to Canada
where it will continue to fly,
Switzerland’s last airworthy Hunter F-58 J-4040/HB-RVS ‘Papyrus’ have now also been grounded forever.
On February 12, 2024,
the members of the Hunter Association Obersimmental
were officially informed via letter that the Hunter F-58 J-4040/HB-RVS ‘Papyrus’ will never fly again.
Grounding of ‘Papyrus’ may well have brought an end to Hawker Hunters flying on the Swiss civil register.
