Corgi Aviation Archive Collector Series AA32706 Hunter Diecast Model Belgian Air Force Red Devils Limited Edition 1:72 Scale     Length     Width Hawker Hunter     7.75"     5.75" The Hawker Hunter was built under licence in Belgium by Avions Fairey and SABCA, firstly 111 Mk.4s between 1955-56, which were replaced by 144 Mk.6s built between 1956-58. In 1957, 'Les Diables Rouges' (The Red Devils) aerobatic team was formed by No.7 Wing of the Belgian Air Force at Chievres. Initially the team had five aircraft, but by 1959, the number of all-red Hunters had increased to sixteen. However, the ever-increasing danger of a multiple collision reduced this, in the next year, to just four plus one solo performer. In this form the 'Red Devils' performed at air shows throughout Europe until their final performance on 4th October 1963. 'IF- 141' was one of the team's aircraft, which was retired in 1964.
