The usual comments being made about what if it had crashed in Helston.

 

Would have improved the town no end if it had.

From a Porthlevener living in Helston, I'm honestly not sure if I'm offended or if I agree entirely!

 

Glad they managed to get out safely after putting it in a hedge

I'm always sorry to hear of this sort of incident, & pleased the crew survived. I was also very impressed at the photo that accompanied the article, it looks small on the page but right click & save it or view in new tab & it is a beaut big shot full of Hawk XX240.

I assume the RAF and FAA are sharing their pool of Hawks for aggressor units now? 

 

I've noticed a 100sqn hawk being flown from Culdrose with the callsign NAVYHAWK. 

 

Changing Squadron markings does not seem to be a priority task. There are still a couple of Hawks with the special tail for the centenary of naval aviation, and that was in 2009.

 

Like seeing a bus with advertising for the big summer blockbuster from two years ago.

There's a proper assortment of Hawk markings at Culdrose at the moment. 

Three Hawks immediately diverted into Newquay after Thursdays incident, all wearing different markings including XX285 in 100 Squadron anniversary markings.
