RAF Hawk display pilots

[Jerry Atrick]

I'm putting together a self-published book on UK Hawks for the type's 50th anniversary next year and one chapter will look at its display career outside the Red Arrows. I have a list of display pilots collated from various sources but there are a couple of gaps, and I know both 4 FTS and the TWUs would provide teams in the 1980s and early 1990s, as well as 100 Squadron in later years. My list so far is:

1978 Sqn Ldr Paul Lloyd CFS
