The Hawk Trainer frist entered service in 1974 replacing the old gnat trainer
both of these aircraft were also used by the Red Arrows.
The hawk was supposed to be in service until 2030 but due concerns over the aging aircrafts safety a new aircraft was needed but a modular one that can have different engines different wings and tail sections fitted

Not having to buy foreign military equipment or team up our european Allies to develope new kit is a step in the right direction.

Britain has years of Aviation expertease from the Sopwith Pup and Camel
Hurricane , Spitfire , Mosquito , the Harrier and the Sea Harrier
and it will create 3000 new jobs and theres the export market too sounds like a win win situation all round



the new 6th Generation Aircraft the New Tempest is progressing nicely too
