We had the Mixed Fighter Force concept in the 80's using the Hawk - why not consider it for COIN.

Grey & Green TWU Hawks from Chivenor & Brawdy were often pictured back then with SNEBs and Aden pods.



I know that the world has moved on a bit...but it isn't any worse an option than some of the other concepts knocking about.

A good point that all the FJ folks have already got time on type.

(If we win the lottery, maybe even invest in a fixed Har / SHAR-stylee AAR probe () and upgrade the frame & wheels like the Goshawk?)
