The season of 93 is upon us and adapting the new black scheme, the design was quite simple, they advertised the RAF Station ...

Cheers Dale, have seen it before, but had to watch it again!!

1988 saw the Hawks revert back to their training colours so with no new special schemes appearing we head to 1989, this was by no means a new scheme either but it did perform on the display circuit and deserves a place in the display scheme history... This was the last time the hawk would display in...
