The newer generation Hawks, 100 series, have an improved Anti-skid system over the T1 with spin-up protection. Apparently BAeS test pilots landed with the brakes on to test it in the early days (can anyone confirm that?). I guess it only works if both brakes are on!

Glad they walked (ran) away. Some new drop tanks needed I wager.
