The BL755 was a soft skinned weapon and carried the four lateral bars to show the cradling points.

I was at Chivenor in 84 and we were using the 3kg practice bombs then.

Yes the Pylons were the same on port and starboard wings with the ERU Carts and throttles being on the starboard side. In the Chivenor Days they were issued as a pair with the even number fitted to the starboard side and the odd number fitted to the port. Hope this helps.

Looks like a Douglas Tugmaster

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.
