BAe Hawk T.Mk.1 / 1A "Red Arrows"

The BAE Systems Hawk is a British, single-engine, advanced jet trainer. It first flew in 1974 as the Hawker Siddeley Hawk. The Hawk is used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and other air forces as a trainer or cost-effective combat aircraft. Production of the Hawk continues, and over 900 aircraft have been sold to 18 customers worldwide.
The Hawk T1A is a modified Hawk T1 designed to replace the Hawker Hunter in the RAF's Tactical Weapons Units (TWU). A total of 89 aircraft were converted to carry two underwing AIM-9L Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and an underwing cannon pod. In the 1980s, the RAF began operating TWU Hawks as part of the Mixed Fighter Force (MFF) concept. The plan was to pair three or four Hawks with a Phantom or Tornado interceptor, which would guide them to enemy targets using its powerful radar.
This variant is also used by the RAF's aerobatic team, the Red Arrows. The weapons pod mounted under the fuselage carries oil for the smoke system.
