Arrestor Barriers

Was passing by the end of the runway at RNAS Culdrose on Thursday while a Hawk was doing several circuits - noticed the arrestor barrier was raised.

Cant recall ever seeing one raised before while fast jets were flying at UK bases; is it normal to have them up while flying is taking place, or more likely to be
because the Hawk had a brake problem or similar?

Just curious... as ever!
