Flight International (6/8/64) reports: "Hawker Siddeley's Blackburn Division is said to be buying some of the Force Airienne Belgique's redundant Hunter day fighters. These will probably be rebuilt and modified to FGA standard, a ground attack version. One airforce know to have shown intérest in the availability of secondhand Hunters in recent months is that of Portugal, which at present is eqipped with two squardons of Fséf intercepters and two squadrons of very old F84G American fighter bombers. It would seem that no U.S. replacement for the outworn F86Fs, originally supplied as U.S. military aid, has been forthcoming because of Portugal's lengthy war in Angola. In this context new U.S. military aid to Portugal would provoke a storm of diplomatic protest.
