RAF Hawk T1 Solo Display

The Hawk T1 has been in RAF service for 28 years as the advanced trainer that all aircrew will fly before being posted to one of the frontline fast jets. The Hawk is the most successful trainer aircraft in the world, and is still being preoduced by BAE Systems at the Warton factory. Most notable export sales have been to the US Navy (T-34 Goshawk), Austrailia and to Canada as part of the NATO flying training scheme. Other RAF roles include navigator training and target towing.

Hawk displays are currently drawn from 208(R) Squadron, part of No 4 FTS. 208(R) Squadron provide basic training on the Hawk at RAF Valley before students move on to 19(F) Squadron and basic weapons training.

The display pilot for 208(R) Squadron is Flt Lt Dave Davies - more details to follow soon
