Is that superb Hawk from 19 Sqn still painted like a Spitfire or has that been painted back into RAF black?

Just to say I love that paint scheme on this years Display Hawk, looking forward to seeing it in action at some point this year......

Back to black I'm afraid, has been so for a couple of months at least

I was lucky enough to catch it at Valley a few times. I will post a few pics in the Photo section shortly, and encourage others to add to the thread - let's get a gallery going in celebration.

Last year I heard that it was staying green/brown and going to the museum as cosford. Then earlier this year I heard that it had gone u/s, then a few days after that I was at Valley
and XX184 came past in 208 markings!

There was a rumour around that it was going to RAFM, but I think it has relativly low hours on it, compared to some of the others

I don't think it was allowed at low level because it didn't have the standard black (high-vis ) colours ??
