As far as Typhoon is concerned, the Hawk T2 is perfectly adequate as a lead in trainer. Although a software upgrade to include additional sensor simulation would be good. For F35 though you need more than just a large display to make the Hawk a better lead in. It’s still a great trainer but not when we’re taking about lead in to fifth gen stuff. Having said that, that’s what the F35 simulators are for! So maybe, we don’t need a new training jet, we just need a simulated one. Maybe ACM Wigston had a point! 💣
