Yup the Daily Fail is reporting the same, they are building the new Red Arrows lol..

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ed-Arrows.html



A British firm is set to strike a deal that will see it design and develop a replacement for the Red Arrows' aircrafts.

Suffolk-based Aeralis was given £200,000 by the RAF to develop a new aircraft that could be converted from basic trainer to aggressive fighter by swapping engines and wings earlier this year.

But the jet developer is now set to win a contract that will see it replace the fully aerobatic Hawk T1 plane, which first entered service with the RAF in 1974, amid concerns about the aircraft's safety.
