Jetting Off To Foreign Brands

The Red Arrows may have to fly foreign jets for the first time in their 56-year history after the Hawks they use are retired.

Ministers are due to start shopping around for new aircraft for the display team from 2023, seven years before they will be retired in 2030.

Manufacturers BAE Systems will stop producing the 640mph Hawks from mid-2022 when it completes its last order for Qatar.

The RAF’s frontline warplanes – the Eurofighter Typhoon and the F-35(B) Lightning II – are fully or part-made in Britain.
