Great shot Trev...The markings indicate that it belongs to 208 Squadron, which I served on in Kenya. One of the oldest squadrons in the R.A.F., as it was originally "Naval Eight" in the R.N.A.S. :flying:

Yeah Leif...I just got my card out and rushed off to buy the Hawk...Sadly, it is not yet released :-(

However, I'm really looking forward to getting it...Their video is great to look at :flying:
