Hawk T1's

Post by johnwickenden » Sat Nov 02, 2019 9:59 am

I know they haven't gone yet, with the Reds and 100Sqn still operating them, but I thought I would post a few pictures of the various schemes over the last 30 years

ImageXX172 by Jon Wickenden, on Flickr
XX172 wearing St Athan Station Flight colours at RIAT 95

ImageXX195 by Jon Wickenden, on Flickr
XX195 in the special 100Sqn colours at Brize Norton Air Show 92

ImageXX226 by Jon Wickenden, on Flickr
XX226 wearing a rather large 74Sqn insignia at Finningley BoB airshow 92

ImageXX283 by Jon Wickenden, on Flickr
XX263 of 2TWU / 151Swn at Bournemouth International Airshow 1986. The camouflaged Hawks, wearing the 151Sqn bars are what I think is the best scheme ever worn by a British military Hawk

ImageXX317 by Jon Wickenden, on Flickr
XX317 of 208Sqn, I think, at Mildenhall 95?

ImageXX220 by Jon Wickenden, on Flickr
XX220 wearing CFS markings at RAF Valley in August 93

ImageXX154-Boscombe-2 by Jon Wickenden, on Flickr
and finally XX154 of ETPS at Boscombe Down 2015
Its gonna rain, its gonna rain till the levee breaks, a tidal wave of fear and pain washes us away, another fight into the night until nothing else remains, how do we find harbour from the Hurricane?

Hi Jon :P

Nice to see some variations in schemes back in the day :thumbs:

Now it's just black (or red) for Hawks and grey, grey, grey for the rest :'(

Thanks for posting :thumb:

Some classic Hawk schemes there but I may have to add a couple in WWII camo in due course.

Great pictures. I've got a 1/32 Hawk to build. I can't decide what scheme to do it in...any suggestions? I was thinking the original Red and White..or maybe blue fin and spine...or maybe XX231 when it was blue. All schemes I grew up with at Valley 🙂

How about this retro 1939 camo scheme which 19 Sqn. turned out in 2009!

Think I'm right in saying that XX172 was the 1st. RAF display a/c to appear in a special paint sch, along with its twin, in '86 if memory serves.

Great to see all the Hawk schemes from over the years :thumb:

Always liked the original red & white and the camo schemes best.
