The first Hawker design was the unbuilt Hawker Humpback of December 1920. This was soon followed by the
Hawker Duiker, the first prototype, which flew in July 1923. In the
interwar years, Hawker produced a successful line of bombers and fighters for the
Royal Air Force, the product of
Sydney Camm (later Sir Sydney) and his team. These included the
Hawker Hind and the
Hawker Hart, which became the most produced UK aeroplane in the years before the Second World War. During the Second World War, the Hawker Siddeley company was one of the United Kingdom's most important aviation concerns, producing numerous designs including the famous
Hawker Hurricane fighter plane that, along with the
Supermarine Spitfire, was instrumental in winning the
Battle of Britain. During the battle, Hawker Hurricanes in service outnumbered all other British fighters combined, and were responsible for shooting down 55 per cent of all enemy aircraft destroyed. F.58 (ZZ190, ex-
Swiss Air Force)) of Hawker Hunter Aviation arrives at the 2018
