Not sure they are grounded, Thursday they didn't fly due to potential Thunderstorms in the area and due back up on Tuesday.

Noticed a couple up around 8.30 on the 30th then as Reptile says all down after that due to weather.

And ongoing runway work at Valley.

Part of the new runway surface has started to break up and is having to be re-laid.

T2's are certainly not 'grounded', that would mean a withdrawal of their flight certification I believe.

Many suggestions over on PPrune about why the Hawk T2s "haven't left the ground" recently!

T2's are certainly not 'grounded' I think you'll find they are !

Obviously not grounded as one was at Scampton in the static.
