Just wondering.. If, as the RAF website says the new Hawks will be 'taking over from the current fleet of Hawk T1 aircraft', what will the Sparrows be displaying????

9 Rovers in Formation??!!
9 sets of Ping Golf Clubs in the back of Golf Buggies??
9 Tucanos!!!!!!

Anyone know what the plan is?????

Don't know about Hawk 128s but I reckon that 9 Red Arrows = 1 Vulcan and that would fly a more spectacular air display.

Far more likely that the 128s will go to 19 Sqn with 208 getting the remainder of the fuselage update jets. Quite what the Ton are going to get out of this is anyone's guess.
