Jet flown by Red Arrows goes up for sale
The Hawk T1 jet was one of the first of its type delivered to the Royal Air Force in 1980A jet flown by the world-famous Red Arrows aerobatic team has gone on sale following the closure of its home at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire.
After the jet was retired, it was used as a "gate guard" at RAF Scampton until the station's closure last year. Described as being in good condition, the aircraft was one of the first of its type delivered to the RAF team after the Folland Gnat jets originally flown by the Red Arrows were replaced. Retired in 2012, it spent a short amount of time in storage before being selected in 2015 to stand guard, without its engine, outside RAF Scampton.
