Well, it actually didn't seem to be a Hawk straight off the production line after all, but the new Hawk advanced trainer demonstrator (maybe it had come in by road for work to be carried out on it ?) but it was good to hear the familiar noise again. Sadly, I had to leave before it took off (had a good spot on the roof of the old pillbox too
so I hope to be able to get there again for the next one.
Took off (to the east) at around 3.35pm local, piloted by ex-RAF flying instructor Nat Makepeace, and headed off back to Warton.
