Hmmm.....maybe it's because the RAF/RN (inc. any of their subsiduaries) is the only outfit to fly Hawks in the UK right now?
Or maybe it's the presence of a roundel and an XX123 UK military airframe registration that gave it away?:rolleyes:

Excellent military aviation phots completely at home in a military aviation forum. Keep 'em coming. :ok:

I am aware of at least two organisations that fly hawks with non military crews.

Nice pictures, well presented

Not with 20Not with 208 (R) Sqn markings...;) :O

Yes I'm a lurker, have been for many years.
This moved me so much... I registered!

Top pics old chap!
Keep them coming.
Shame that some people failed dismally to ID a sense of humour.

Keep it up.

How about the IAF pilots training at 208 and 19 at the moment.....? Non-UK aircrew methinks.

Not only are you very slow to catch on (IAF mentioned on previous page) but that is also a very pedantic and boring comment.
The aircraft are brit mil and thats all that matters.
We could always just read endless posts about politics and IOT instead, with no pictures to make life a bit more interesting. That'd be fun!
BV:(

Can't say I think much of your so called sense of humour, Lucky(after checking that you hadn't posted it in a "correct" forum). :(

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO LIKE HOT PICS, THIS SITE IS THE BEST. CHECK OUT THE 'IN THE OFFICE' SHOTS!!

Great pics - have you got a massive ladder or is it just a very long lens (oo-er)?
Don't bother moving them, they're at least stimulating some debate amoungst those who want them gone whilst the rest of us admire them!

Great pictures.
The direct ‘overhead’ views of the cockpit appear to be the equivalent of the PR squadron’s airborne photos of a ‘chimney’ where the photo is directly ‘on top’.
Now what is the ground equivalent of the PR ‘belfry’ – the airborne oblique or side-view photo through the bell tower?

Crikey Southside, I know you like to disagree with EVERYTHING, but this really takes the biscuit.
Well, there can be no doubt whatsoever that it is an RAF Hawk. Additionally, there is a 99% chance that it is crewed by British military pilots. There is a small chance that it contains a Foreign & Commonwealth student or instructor, but I couldn't give a kipper's if that was the case. They are still bloody good MILITARY pictures, quite at home on this forum. I would be delighted if Jumpseater had snapped me snotting down a Welsh valley.

Your comment on this thread (although you will say it is all tongue in cheek) and on many others, suggest that you have no experience or knowledge of how the RAF works. Maybe it is you that should not be featuring on the Military Aircrew board.

The Hawk pics are Chris Chamber's shots?

Exceptional aircraft photographer.

Check out his site: www.warplane.co.uk

And the forum: http://users.boardnation.com/~warplane/index.php

If you want photo's, check out the forums.

Please have a look at my website if you want to see more low-level action. I've had a fair few pilots/navs e-mailing me saying 'that's me, that's me' and as a thank you I usually send them a copy of the photo.

Oh, I agree - Mil a/c on a Mil forum should stay.

Thanks Vigilant Pilot, flattered. If I knew you, the drinks would be on me, I don't though, so I'll keep the cash!

The site's still in prep stages and maybe some time yet before it goes live again. The forum is quite active with piccies, all the low level stuff can be found by contacting me.

A couple of shots you may have seen before.

Pictures of the kids...
 

This is a local forum for local people and it's rather pleasant to see pictures of the children playing nicely, I keep the spotter pages blocked by parental control software so keep up the good work!
