XX162 was an ex 4 FTS airframe, XX327 was one of the first airframes delivered direct to 151 Sqn when that was part of 2 TWU at Chivenor

XX157 arrived in AMRO on the back of a truck from Shawbury today where it's been in storage since 2018. This aircraft is the latest conversion for the Red Arrows following XX295 and will be oldest airworthy UK Hawk T1 when completed.
Following an inspection of the airframe XX157 was found to be unsuitable for conversion and has been placed into storage pending a decision on any future use. The issue appears to date back to it's previous use as a trials aircraft which compromises the avionics modification needed to bring it up to Red Arrows standard.
XX321 Arrived today for conversion to Red Arrow standard, the replacement for the now stored XX157.
