RAF Hawk T1s Retire Early ?

It has been reported that the 76 strong Hawk T1 fleet, at RAF Leeming and RNAS Culdrose, is to be retired on March 31st 2022, leaving just 28 T2s at RAF Valley. Apparently ‘synthetic training’ will augment the T2 capability. The Red Arrows T1s will continue until 2030 if enough financial sponsorship can be obtained.
