What British Industry though, they don't even have a UK production facility to build any yet......(ignoring the fact that they haven't even built a flyable and testable prototype yet)
Its far too late in the day now to be even thinking that Aeralis is even an option for Hawk T.2 replacement....maybe if the timeline was 2050, but not 2030.
But, I'm sure wallets and ego's in the corridors of power can be suitably massaged to give the RAF another donkey.
