It's wet, it's boring - but here's one to get you digging into those old logs!
The subject header really says it all... does anyone out there have a list (partial or complete) of the aircraft at this (very early) display with the then new Hawks.
I'd be interested to see if any one can add to XX227 - which was the only one I managed to read off!
