Originally designated Hawker P.1182, the Hawk has been developed into a range of world-beating trainer and combat aircraft. No prototype was built, the first five aircraft off the line being allocated to flight trials, begun on 21 August 1974. Deliveries commenced in 1976, and in 2001 the Hawk T.Mk 1 and T.Mk 1A weapons trainer remained as the RAF's only basic/advanced jet trainer. There is no sign of a replacement despite rapidly dwindling airframe life among the badly overstretched fleet.

Re: Review: BAE Systems Hawk
Well done, mate. Your point being?
Beret of blue, worn by many, earned by few!
I don't see how it's all that beneficial, it's just random facts about military hardware from his own site, not exactly something one would just post on a forum. It's not adding anything of value to the forum at all.
