Qatar ordered 3 Hunter FGA.MK.78's and a single Hunter T.MK.79 during 1969. After  refurbishment and a period in store, they were delivered shortly after Qatar's independance from the UK, and based at Doha. The photos above come from the excellent HawkerHunter.com. and show two image's of QA-12 and the sole duel seater QA-13 bottom. They were retired from service during 1982, and very few photo's exist of them in Qatari service, so if anyone has some, and would like to show them, email me!

QA-10 is seen here in quite a state whilst in storage at Bournmouth Hurn in 1992, where it arrived some 10 years earlier. (below)
