Woodvales' new gate guard - Hawk

[Airbus A346]

I have been informed by a reliable source that Hawk XX247 will arrive in pieces on or around 20th December.
It will have "RAF - 100 years" markings, and should be in place by the end of the year / early new year.

That gate has had a few types down the years:

Any advance on Meteor,Phantom,Jet Provost?

As it's mentioned above here's as video of the WA591 the former Meteor gate guard. Very much alive and kicking back.

A replica Spitfire in 611 colours stood there for two weeks in 2010.

I have been working all day at Woodvale as part of the team placing XX247 on the gate. Some photos will be in place when I get back home.

Some photo's of XX247. The first before the strip down and paint job and the second on the gate at Woodvale just after we had finished the rebuild.
Luckily the weather held with no rain as the work was all done outside.
