Corgi AA36008 BAE Hawk T1A Red Arrows RAF

The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, The Red Arrows, took delivery of the Hawk trainer in the winter of 1979/80. Pilots converted from the Gnat and worked up a display using the new aeroplane in time for the 1980 display season. The Hawk has taken the team on tours of Europe, the USA, the Middle and Far East and Australia – in all, The Red Arrows have displayed in 50 countries. For 2008 the Corgi model will come complete with a water-slide decal sheet featuring the serial numbers of all 9 of the Red’s Hawk Aircraft. This will allow the collector to authentically replicate any of the aircraft in the team.
