NEW British aircraft — like rare birds — are seldom seen in the sky today. The HS 1182 Hawk is, therefore, a welcome sight and long may she fly. It's not that the Hawk is a particularly exotic species — to the contrary she is rather plain. But what matters is the role that this aircraft is destined to play without being hedged in by expenditure of enormous sums of money. Any aircraft being produced at a fixed price makes it a ‘rare bird’ indeed, apart from making good sense to the taxpayer and a real asset to the Royal Air Force. In short, it represents value for money.
