Hawk T1
the year is 1991, sadam Hussain has invaded Kuwait and the US and UK as poised to strike but....... in shake down trials there was a problem getting the Buccs out to the gulf to assit in laser desegnation of targets, the the MOD decided they needed a quick fix to take out ground targets at low level, the americans had run in to problems with sand and there A-10 fleet were struggling so the RAF used the only thing they had left that could fit the bill, Hawk T1'a outfitted with either bombs or rocket pots or ALARMS and cannon's they soon started to work on clearing tanks AA instilations and SAM sites from low level

the Hawk T1's were painted in the now customary ARTF pink and the ground crews applied there 'war' markings .......
