First one...

The BAe Hawk entered service with the RAF in 1976 and replaced the Gnat and Hunter in the advanced training and weapons training roles. Many versions of the Hawk now exist and it has been a worldwide success in 15 countries outside the UK.

The first production model the T1 was exported to Finland, Kenya, and Indonesia as the Hawk 51, 52, and 53. Armed versions such as the T1A, 60 series, 100 series, 120 series followed on, and production is continuing.

The armed Hawk has 2 x under-wing pylons and a fuselage pylon or gun pack with 30mm cannon. Some versions have wing-tip pylons as well allowing up to 4 x AIM-9 Sidewinders to be carried.


This example is a BAe Hawk T1 of the 4th Flying Training School circa 1982.
