It is a shell, nothing in the cockpit, engine out and all the electronics.
It is little more than scrap value.
XX306 was made at the then British Aerospace plant at Dunsfold and handed over to the Royal Air Force on May 23, 1980.
Painted in the Red Arrows’ famous livery, the aircraft also featured a smoke and dye pod – a modification on the standard Hawk.
The jet spent two months at RAF Valley before flying to RAF Kemble – the Red Arrows’ previous home – and joined the Squadron on July 3, 1980.
It was retired from the aerobatic team on October 20, 2012, having last been used in a display on September 26 and then flown to RAF Shawbury for decommissioning and preparation as a Gate Guardian.
Total flying time for XX306 - 7,378 hours and 15 minutes, so it is fatigue life expired.

I sat in one at the Newark air museum, and I only just fitted in, in a sweatshirt and jeans. I'm not even close to six foot and only eleven stone and can't see how bigger people in flying suits even get in. It makes a Morgan cockpit seem HUGE!

Do like a Hawk! .... Tho my favourite RA plane was the Folland Gnat ... what a cute little thing ... when they were based at Valley in Anglesey we lived on the side of a mountain and the Gnats used to fly by below us so close you could read all the labels and notices as well as see the whites of the pilot's eyes! 🙂

It is little more than scrap value. But how cool would this be to have it sitting in your yard. My grandchildren would love it!

The seats are there, just the head boxes missing + harness and the Survival pack. Probably be able to source those. Although id have it if money were no object 57k current bid does seem excessive though ! Id rather have a Lightning or Jaguar
