Although also had a pitiful amount of air to air victories to its name,
despite a long production run.

Well, no, actually.
Of the three divided windscreen cars I have driven (Morris Minor,
Volkswagen, Opel Kapitan, none of them had the dividing bar in front
of the driver. The first one had the driver on the rigth hand side,
and the other two had the driver on the left.
I have not looked at a Hunter since Monday, but the pilot really is
located behind the centre division.
