Undercarriage on a Hawk, where is it?

Am I correct in saying that the undercarriage of a Hawk is on the middle, bottom part of the fuselage?

As is displayed here by both reds:

I am not a military guy myself...hence the question.

I noticed that the reds fly a lot with the undercarriage down...is there any reason for that other than needing to save the fuselage from scraping along the runway when they land?
