I am glad to hear that your time with the Hawk has been so incident free
I wish it had, lost some fine pilots, several of whom were freinds. The only landing accidents i recall are the practice turnbacks at Valley (which i witnessed) and not long before at Chiv. The recent Mona ones well - mishandling etc. As for take off - well the xx164 incident is very close to my heart, so i won't go there. My point is that the Hawk when up and running is a remarkably trouble free jet.

I appreciate that you can't let all and sundry fly low over built up areas with nowhere to set down, but Northholt is military and as such i was suprised to hear that it was limited to military single engined as well as civvy.
