Ref the RN Hawk

Why is the Hawk "Royal Navy"?

Ref the one roundel on the PC-9.

I suppose the reason behind it is that it meets the minimum legal requirements for military markings without going overboard.

Thanks to the aircrew for the great flying in Tornado F.3. ZH556 from Boscombe Down on the 5th October. The sound of the air ripping after flying through the pass entrance was amazing!

Caption competition?

Melchett: "Please everybody, now where's my map? ... God it's a barren, featureless desert out there, isn't it?"
Darling: "Other side sir."
