So who's is this then?
 
At the risk of losing a limb or two!

Was in Whitehaven today whilst HM The Queen was visiting. Towards the end of the visit this hawk did a display

A nice bit of flying:ok:

Any reason for the giant roundel though - not critising just interested, as it was commented on by a few folk

It's this years display scheme commemorating the RAF's 90th Anniversary. Tucano has a similar commemorative scheme and smaller 90th markings have appeared on one or two others as well - certainly Tiffies and a Tornado F-3 that I'm aware of.

Just how would you approach painting that? - Tall jacks maybe - good effort though!

Thanks for all the replies & info.

Was just thinking though, them hawks must be fairly small, this gull looks bigger than it:}:}
