Take a tour of the Red Arrows' iconic Hawk T1 jet

The world-famous Red Arrows' T1 Hawk jet is an icon of the Royal Air Force.

The aircraft has wowed crowds during displays around the world and is famous for its nimbleness and coloured vapour trails.

The display team recently moved base from RAF Scampton to RAF Waddington where Forces News was given a tour of one of the team's Hawk T1s by Wing Commander David Montenegro, Officer Commanding of the Red Arrows.
