Indeed, but my point is doesn't this undercut the case for having the Reds at all, unless a new in-service replacement (or one planned to be in service) can be found. The UK developed Aeralis seems an interesting prospect, and the MoD is certainly sniffing around with regard Tempest.They can't fly Hawk T1 forever.
