Puma's On the Move

I've heard from a reliable source 3 x Puma's will be sent to Brunei and 3 to Cyprus in the coming weeks.

I think this will leave around 7 in the UK, although I'm happy to be told it's more!

These will become rare machines in the UK.

Re: Draken to provide Red Air training to RAF from Teesside

L159e 'Honeybadgers' out of Teesside suddenly makes the previous Hawk T1's outta Leeming seem a bigger loss now! I was hoping for some Mirage or A4 action using all those spare jets Draken have, since Red-Air went back in-house at Nellis. :O At least the L159e's have a radar! Who knows, the next 3 ...

Re: UK Seeking Adversary Jets Once Again

With credit to DTV Movements " Draken are planning on supplementing the based Falcon fleet with 4x Aero L-159E ALCAs. They are Czech-built fast jets that look very similar to a Hawk. Draken exclusively operate the "E" model, which is the export version of the single-seat "A" model. ALCA stands for A...

Excuse my ignorance, what ,if anything is replacing the T1 in it's existing roles after next March!
T1's will not be replaced. Current roles will be Absorbed by Synthetic training & most likely Draken when the axe swings.
