Shame we got rid of the Hunter......
Give us a clue...my money's on them cutting the number of pilots down to 6 and ordering more Texans.

Brilliant Nutty, if you squint you really can't tell the difference...
What message does it send that our display team are flying 40 year old obsolete aeroplanes? Maybe if the Reds were operating the T2 or the 200 it would promote foreign sales and showcase British Industry.
Davef68,
Are you sure about that? I thought that the PC-21's were for ETPS, which is a QinetiQ outfit, where as the Centre for Aviation Medicine Hawks are RAF.
