Could new passenger plane be lifeline for BAE Brough?

Civil aircraft in the military section?…bare with me:D

I read this report today:

Could new passenger plane be lifeline for BAE Brough?

Now I understand the concern, the fact is whilst the Hawk has been an excellent platform over the years and as a training solution as a whole still up there but we can’t ignore that it is being overtaken by newer types that benefit from more modern technology. Unless another big order after the Indian follow on contract Hawk production is going to wind down.

Now the idea in this story is to develop a passenger aircraft at Brough…hmmm now here is another idea! Develop a new Hawk! New airframe, wings and FBW. Lever technology from the current Hawk program as well and carry on doing what has worked well for UK Plc!

Just an idea … discuss
