BAe have been trying to sell Hawks out this way for ages. A couple of years ago the Red Arrows came, did their impressive stuff at Singapore, Jakarta, Langkawi and Brunei then went home. Brunei still hasn't bought any; Indonesia did. The Malaysians took some too, but they've crashed a few - I think they missed the word "advanced" in front of the word "trainer" when they signed the contract...
As a sales team for the BAe Hawk I think the Sparrers days are now over. As a recruiting attraction, well the RAF doesn't need recruits any more, does it?
