Clearly a typo. 208 was the last Hawk T1 training squadron at Valley, disbanded with undue haste not much more than a couple of years ago if I recall.

As for the blurb, replace "innovative" with "desperate" and I suspect you are getting closer to the truth! Really worrying thing is that the day is getting ever closer when the RAF simply wont have the capacity for even these innovative measures.
