Hi Mike, .max is the file extension for Autodesk 3ds Max. I don't have the program but did find this for you to watch. Cheers David

Had both hard and soft tops on 4 sqn when I was there. Mostly soft tops though. cheers Dave

Sorry Pappy. We didn't work with call signs, just pins on a board to let us know what to load to what A/C.

Looks great Pappy. Nicely built and looks just as I remember when I worked on them in the early 80's on 151 Sqn. David

Hi Pappy, there's a good picture of the refuel panel open with no refuel hose in the topshots book of the Hawk. page 16. If you PM me your email address I can take a photo of it for you if you don't have a copy. Dave

I understand the castering and no nosewheel steering. I did two tours at Chivenor on 151 then 92 sqn. I just never saw one like that before. I can only assume it was pushed back by hand. not with a towing arm.

First time I've seen a Hawk nose wheel like that on the red, white and blue Hawk.

All I could find was this https://www.airliners.net/photo/UK-Air-Force/British-Aerospace-Hawk-T1/961570/L

Could possibly be true. I remember fitting 9Gs to newly arrived and assembled Aircraft for test flights.

Not 100 % sure as it was a while ago, but it may have been for the seat firing handle safety pin and the MDC firing handle pin placed by the pilot. I should know as the guy holding the sidewinder seeker head cover was my Sergeant at the time I was there.

I can confirm this. I was there on IV(AC) at the time. We ended up with six Harriers and their tail codes spelt HARDET when parked correctly.

I've only seen grey ones
