RON WHEELDON'S HUNTERS

RON WHEELDON is a Johannesburg based trademark and IP attorney. He writes, "My love affair with Hawker Hunter jet fighters started in approximately 1963 when the Rhodesian parliament opening was marked by a fly-by of nine recently acquired Hawker Hunters in diamond formation.

- 

The Wheeldon family was late as usual, my mother's fault of course, so the formation was seen through the windows of the parental Vauxhall Victor and the jacaranda trees of Salisbury's avenues. But it was enough - the bug had bitten."

As a true aircraft (and car) enthusiast and with the wherewithal to indulge many of his dreams, Ron has owned a vast variety of aircraft, from a Piper Cub to the Hunter.

And he owns not one, but two, Hunters.
