Wonder how many T Mk 1s we have in store?
... have to get some T1s out of storage.
If BAeS are to resolve problems on T.1,
Last figure I saw a few months ago was less than 40 total Hawk Mk 1 remaining; divided between Red Arrows, AMRO at Valley and storage at Shawbury. I would guess the rest were quickly SOC or RTP after last March, before anyone could see how bad they (or the records) were. There might even be difficulty certifying the parts, let alone the wholes.
At a guess, other than RAFAT, no more than a handful could be made available to fly safely, at less than a few months notice.
