Red Dragon Hawk XX172

Hello all,

I have just finished this painting of RAF’s Hawk and I am looking for some info about this paint scheme. Anyone know what was the reason of this unusual dragon on both sides of this Hawk? Also any other info about squadron, where based, and years that this trainer worn dragon paint scheme which seams that does not exist anymore.
