Without trying to complicate things further, but I'm sure I've seen a fifth Hawk tailcone variation at some point (possibly at an airshow on static display) with a bulbous tail piece above the exhaust.



(In a separate point regarding the colour of Red Arrows, I believe there have been three different red colours used - one was a somewhat more magenta-red, the current red scheme, and there was a more orangey-red during the early years of the team)

As Rob said, it may very well have been a spin chute, but I don't have any pictures of a Hawk with one fitted. Below are a couple pics of the tailcone on a Canadian Hawk that visited NAS Kingsville a few years ago. Pretty much looks like a standard "version 4":

Here's a pic off Airliners.net of a Malaysian HAwk Mk 108. Note the Chaff/Flare/RWR box mounted above a version 4 drag chute equipped tailcone. Lots of variations on the theme. No shortage of configurations to figure out how to model!
