Although, I will admit...... just video-ing the wpns techniques, is no subsitute for the sound, feel, smell and sight of 30mm HEi doing it's thing! or even 3Kg Terror Bombs destroying literally 2 ft of sand! Ahhhh Pembrey......But, The future,
The 'progress' that is the Hawk128, will still train pilots to the high standards the T1a does, but just about every ounce of 'soul' has been extracted by the 'bean counters', (not by the aircrew that have been involved.).
From what I hear, it will make an ideal Typhoon trainer.
Happy New Year!
