A fair amount of activity at Waddo today, with a French AF Xingu, Merlin mk.3A, a T67 Firefly from Barkston and at around 15:25 a Hawk in Red Arrows colours with what appeared to be an all blue tail with golden wings on it :scratch: Hopefully someone can shed some light on this. Also seen from afar was a Piaggio P.180 Avanti. Unfortunately I didnt get to see it up close which was a shame! Was it an Italian AF one or a civvi? any ideas on what it was up to?
Hopefully thats of some interest.
Thanks,
Andy :)

The P180 was a german civvi. Also you missed out the Chinnock - ZH777

Cheers for the Hawk info Croaky, Its wierd how its got a black tail. Is it a new Reds aircraft thats just been sprayed or is it a tail from another hawk thats been fitted to it? What squadron marks did it have on the tail? Thanks in advance Andy :)
