Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone fancys doing the 2008 display hawk livery for the FS9 DSB hawk, its been done for other hawks but not the DSB one :brick: .
Some shots off XX325 here on airliners.net http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.s ... ersion=6.0 and and good under belly shot http://www.airsceneuk.org.uk/oldstuff/2 ... xx325a.htm :dance:

Ok Jason yeah that be great :tab: I seen the 'Spitfire' XX184 and it looks brilliant do you know when it be finished cant wait to get me hands on that one aswel :prayer:

Nice shots Dennis Yeah I noticed Ricks hawk had one done for FSX & UKMIL did one for there hawk but no one has done one for the DSB/IRIS Hawk.

If anyone is intrested there's a good a article about 32 years of the Sole Hawk display with all the liverys http://www.airsceneuk.org.uk/oldstuff/2 ... /hawks.htm

Why does the sole display Hawk have to be in a special livery???

Are they not proud enough of the standard livery and what it represents.

It's an Air Force not a toy maker

As far as I'm aware marking aircraft up to celebrate special occasions (i.e the display aircraft for the season or a one off to celebrate a squadron anniversary) is tradition; it's pretty much always been done and long may it continue (although a little more originality next year rather than just slapping roundels on everything wouldn't go amiss).

I guess its to make it look better then just its normal livery and its always the same aircraft for the whole season so why not make look good and have a speacial livery on it. They do it with the Tucano T1 aswel now

Well and what Chris just said too long may it continue

Well.. there was a 'Solo' Hawk at Duxford for the final show of the year and it wasn't that one so why bother ;-) I think there's a misconception about 'Display' aircraft.. in general. They really don't need a 'Cat' paintwork to be the 'Black Cats'.. however nice it is. The singleton Hawk doesn't need an individual 'one off' livery to be the annual display aircraft. The Tincan.. the Tornado.. etc.. etc. I honestly think they're more 'attractive' to the general public when they turn up 'as-is'. Of course, there ARE exceptions.. the Reds for one but otherwise.. I think that 'Joe Public' would much rather see what is supposed to be an 'In Service' aircraft.. one that works from day to day WORKING than one with a 'Special' paint job which somehow, detracts from the reality and intention of the actual display and is wheeled out for just such an occassion ;-)

I could be wrong but I AM 'Joe Public' at such events
