Hawk 75 Engine Test

Hi Guys, I was at Duxford today and about 2.00pm the Hawk 75 was towed out of hanger 2 for a engine test.
The test lasted for about 25 min. There was a further at 3. 30 which last for about 10 min.

Both the Hawk at the Princess are being extensively engine tested at the moment, and I’m sure that TFC are trying hard to make sure all is 100% right before a first flight in the UK is attempted. I’ve been lucky to have seen the Hawk taxi so far, but I am looking forward to seeing her fly. Best of luck TFC! 🙂

Looking at the state of the aircraft, it did not look as if they were going to try to get it airbourne…

Still time before Legends…

Great pictures…
