Hawk problems at Valley

Surely it must be time for another wheel to come off the Hawk T2 fleet.

We’ve not had a problem for a while, and a failure of the aircraft, might divert attention from the piss poor performance of the training provider.

Just a thought.

There's another thread running on this where people who seem to be in the know point the finger elsewhere.

WP's poking because this one isn't out of the bag (yet) and it appears 'people ' either aren't in the know or are keeping zip lip.

Maybe this is another part of CAS’s cunning plan to do away with actual aircraft and do everything synthetically.

Is nobody going to go public about this?

You clearly know more than you are letting on so how about you going public? Or are you just 5hit stirring?

OK lets try this then.
Putin is known to favour clandestine means of eliminating his enemies.
Not only his warships but his fishing boats (ever heard the term 'Russian Trawlers') often operate close to our shores.
Huge numbers of lobsters and crabs in specific waters off the north east coast of England are dying due to some heretofore 'unknown' type of virus killing the crustacea; the government don't appear to know what this virus is or how it got there to cause such devastation.
Putin is fully capable of getting his minions to develop such a virus; he also has the means (via the aforementioned trawlers) to 'seed' the local waters off Whitby and elsewhere with it.
He knows he's on a hiding to nothing with his present campaign against Ukraine so he turns to other means to try to destroy our fishing industry.
Fantasy? You tell me; I think it's perfectly feasible (and no I don't like lobsters or crabs; can't stand the taste)

Much more likely its the local heavy industry.

have you ever seen Teesside - steel works, chemical works, a nuclear power station, a landing/processing point for N Sea oil and gas, ship breaking................ who needs Russian Science when capitalism can do such a good job?

After all they have a lot of previous form - just look around the rest of the NE of England.

(ever heard the term 'Russian Trawlers')
My first UAS Summer Camp was at Binbrook in 1967, home in those days to 5(AC) Squadron, flying Lightning F6s. We were allowed to sit in on the daily Station Briefings and I remember that the locations of the 'Russian Trawlers' were pointed out - one in the North Sea and one in the Irish Sea.

I also remember that when we flew cross-country and talked to RAF ATC en-route, we used the appropriate tri-graph callsign prefix and had to identify our aircraft type as "Single Piston". I bet that fooled the Russians bobbing about in their trawlers!

That's all right then...

Still not spotted the connection to Hawks at Valley, though I'm sure the Whitby Fishermen’s Association are flattered by the attention

The original discussion was getting bogged down by people implying they know but they're not telling so I thought I'd liven it up a bit.
The strange 'virus' affecting crustacea is genuine and has been widely reported on some media channels but not as far as I'm aware, the Daily Wail so most of you will not be aware of it until you order your favourite seafoods and find they are not on the menu.

You're suggesting its a pincer attack? Don't think that would work here (although I hear it crushed Asia).
