Seems to me that this would be a more expensive way to provide aggressor aircraft....
Why would anyone look to acquire surplus Hawk T1? There are much better and lower hour / lower FI variants available to acquire if you were that desperate to operate Hawk. Next contract in the UK isn't until at least 2025 and that's to replace the pending interim provision and Tranche One Typhoon.
