Hawk XX154 to ‘fly’ to her new home

[Seahornet1]

Why? It was operated by QinetiQ/ETPS for a number of years.

Because it was the very first Hawk. It is a very rare thing that a military jet prototype goes on to serve with the rest of the fleet that it spawned

So, was this the example which we saw being displayed at Farnborough 1974, just a few days after the type's maiden flight? I remember being most impressed by that!

I was invited to give my U-2 presentation to the BDAC a couple of years ago. They are a dedicated and knowledgeable bunch, and I'm sure they will look after XX154 very well.

Yes indeed, with the shorter airbrake plates
