Hi Gary,

I believe the Hawk T2 has an upgraded version of the Hawk T1's engine, the Rolls-Royce Adour. The Typhoon is powered by the Eurojet EJ200 engine.

I don't think there are any plans for the Reds to get the new Hawk's are present (there just aren't enough of them!)

Cheers
Steve

Hello Team ZJ

I'm sure you'll find lots of interesting stuff from some very knowledgeable people on FC you'll enjoy about all types of aeroplanes !

The BAE Systems Hawk 100 series demonstrator ZJ100 is due to fly again soon on trials at Warton.
The RAF T.Mk.1 is powered by the original Mk.151 engine, and the Red Arrows a/c have the control system tuned to make it more responsive. The aircraft have had progresive development in airframe, engines and systems leading up to the Mk.128 = the RAF T.Mk.2 with the Adour Mk.951 - it doesn't have an afterburner.

BAE Systems run an apprenticeships for Engineers based at their main sites and a scheme for Fitters at various colleges (including Lincoln and Peterborough) which uses the training school set up at Finningley using a couple of Mk.53 airframes.

Can't believe I missed it fly! If anybody hears anything let me know please. I'd like to see it do some stunts & tricks like the old days. I think they might have put a carbon fibre wing on it to try & sell it to the Americans!

A carbon wing and bigger donk aren't the Hawk mods that will be pushed for TX. I've read this carefully and you seem to be fishing. Why don't youcontact BAE Systems direct and ask them why they have resurrected the jet.

Chill out Cheesy peas! Do you have a number i could call BAE with? How do you guys know whats flying out of warton, i have one of them walkie talkie things but i cant seem to get the right frequencies to hear the tower, does anyone know the correct frequency?? I only live 10 mins away so i would have thought the signal would be ok? I think im going to have to buy a new camera to be able to contribute some good pics to the forum, what set ups are you guys using? Im guessing ill have to go wide angle no??

"Cheesy peas" ???? Do you have any idea who you have just offended ????

Be very, very careful.

[SteveS]

Surely you'd know the number "Gary", seeing as how you have an @baesystems email address?

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case.

I don't think cheesy is the sort of guy to be offended easily, had a good laugh with him in America. Serves him right for leaving us sat on the pan in San Antonio one morning waiting for him & trig to get out of bed to move the jets! Hope all is well at happy IV Paul.

Not offended in the slightest. Although I'm sure it was Randolph AFB that we left you waiting to taxi the jet!!
