I am trying to find out the R.A.F. service, squadrons and mark of a Hawker Hunter WV331 that eventually ended up with the Singapore Air Force as 543. Can anybody send me in the right direction for this information please.

There's a big gap between delivery and going to Halton (the gap being its active RAF service) in all the data linked. Drop the RAF Museum an email and they will send you a copy of its individual record card.

Thanks for the replies. I do have that information mike furline and your correct quemerford that is the bit that is missing between delivery and Halton. Also the aircraft now is totally different from its original mark in the R.A.F. as it had its cannons pack removed and replaced with a recon pack, stations for sidewinder missiles and centre line carrier, plus the cannon ports were covered over and other things in the cockpit while in service with the Singapore Air Force. So I will try the R.A.F. Museum, thanks again.
