When I look for statistical data for early aircraft, I often find myself running up against the data of the early variants: I often am able to easily find data on the most commonly produced variants, but not the first ones (for example the Vampire had a wing that was 40'0" in span, and 266 ft^2, later models were 262 ft^2 and 38'0").

I'm interested in the data on the following designs for the time being...
  • Gloster Meteor Mk.I: First variant
  • Hawker Sea Hawk F.1 & F.2
  • Hawker Hunter F.1 & F.2
 
I have some questions, and while they sound trivial, they do add up (provided you have the answer)
  • Is 8139 lbs OEW or Manufacturer's Empty Weight? (My default assumption is OEW...)
  • Do the F.1 and F.3 have the same fuel and oil loads? (I did some checking and the F.3 has 330 imperial gallons for fuel and either 2.75 imperial gallons for oil either total or for each engine).
  • When did OEW start encompassing the mass of oils? (Currently, it does, but in the past it didn't)
 
Hawker Hunter...

Prototype - F6: Length 45' 11" Width 33' 8" Height 13' 2" Weight Empty Proto -F2 12,128lbs Max. Weight 16,200lbs
