Meet BAe Hawk
First developed under the Hawker Siddeley name, the Hawk continued through British Aerospace and BAE Systems. Its single-engine, subsonic design serves advanced training and, in some versions, combat roles. The T1 and later Hawks differ in equipment; photographs and figures here retain their model captions rather than treating the family as one cockpit.
