Wierd RAF Jet
Hello,
I was out with my camera this afternoon when i saw this jet heading really low and straight towards me, i got my camera out and as it passed i took this photo. http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/4442/dsc3438zd4.jpg Im not a plane man myself but ive not seen one of these before? Is it the same style of planes the red arrows use? Maybe somebody can tell me? Thanks! |
It is not a Hawk trainer, assuming the Red Arrows still use that. It looks like a civilian private jet with RAF markings. Maybe the Air Commodore was off for a wee round of golf?

Its a Hawker Siddley/BAE Dominie, based on the HS125 executive jet, the black/dark blue painted ones are used mainly for navigation training.

Dark Blue ones are Dasualt Falcons (sorry for bad spelling) operated by FRA mainly from Bournemouth. |

i saw a gunship today hovering near andover, i was put off taking pictures of it, just because of its firepower!i know it probably wasnt all armed up, but i had a quick x file vision off a secret meeting with the feds lol

Thanks Chaps. I thought it maybe something to do with training, it was flying very very low...

Some RAF dominies are indeed black/dark blue, XS739 for example.
