I am also reliably informed it turned up to - and flew on both days at - Dunsfold W & W :-?

I thought it was grounded as the driver committed a misdemeanour unknown and there was NO one able to take his place for this display season as they wouldn't have time to 'learn the complex routine' :-o

Seems someone learns pretty quick then :D :p

As far as I am a where it's doing a role demo - not a display, unless things have changed.

Lots prefer the role demo as it flys nearer to the ground & the crowd.

As far as I am AWARE, it is indeed performing a ROLE DEMONSTRATION! :p

Correct, the Hawk has been doing a Role Demo with the new pilot. It is definately more of a crowd puller than the display as Mayfly says, I watched the Airborne Show on PlanesTV and the Hawk Demo really was excellent, very low and close to the crowdline with some interesting manouvers you don't normally get to see Hawks do at a show.
