Hi F-4. Will check through my extensive collection of old airshow programmes to see if I can find the names for the missing years. This sounds like a worthy cause which deserves support so if I can help by providing pics of the display Hawks (I think I have most of them) or the pilots (of whom I have a few) pl let me know and I'll sort them out. Meanwhile I'll dig out all my old programmes for the '82 + '85 shows.

Bill Auckland was a very good friend of mine. He had passed selection for the Reds shortly before falling ill and sadly left us in 2003.

4 minutes in there's an RN Hawk display team, is it exclusively RAF solo you're after?

Thanks, Black Seahawks I think they were called. Displayed with FRA/Cobham Falcons one year I recall.

Indeed, a couple of seasons they were lead by Brian Hoskins, who over saw the changeover to the Hawk from Gnat for the Reds 1979-'80. Sea Hawks extant '02-'09

Flt.Lt. Mark Linney [1990], went on to display the F.86 Sabre on many occasions at Duxford. I think he was also the Harrier display pilot at one time also.

1986 Flt Lt Guy Bancroft Wilson could well have been with 63 Squadron which was part of Number 2 Tactical Weapons Unit at RAF Chivenor in North Devon.

Flt Lt Meade main Hawk T1A Aircraft used during both years as the RAF Display Pilot was XX 283 with the letter Z in white on the tail fin Flt Lt Meade reserve Aircraft was XX 325 with the letter X in white on the tail fin.
1992 only as 63 Squadron was disbanded on the 23rd of September 1992 Flt Lt Ian Wood who later became SQDRN LDR Ian Wood his main display Hawk was XX 230. Flt Lt Ian Wood reserve Aircraft was XX 281 from Number 151 Squadron which was part of Number 2 Tactical Weapons Unit at RAF Chivenor in North Devon. Both Hawk Aircraft were in a gloss black colour scheme.

Sadly, Guy Bancroft-Wilson was killed flying the Fighter Collection's P.63 Kingcobra at Biggin Hill show in 2001.

The Leuchars display programme 1989 shows Flt/Lt Tim Frost as Hawk solo pilot. QFI at Valley at the time.
