Yes the RAFCAM Hawks are RAF Aircraft - I would have thought they were on borrowed time as they are a bit of a mongrel version,because of their instrumentation fit - they still have their original pre - mod 2010 Fuselages - although they do have the post mod999 Wings and also the later tailplanes fitted.
One of them is the very first Hawk to go into RAF Service and had a few little differences as compared to the main production run Aircraft.
