UK MoD signs £450 million contract
« on: October 19, 2006, 09:55:07 PM »
The UK Ministry of Defence has today signed a £450 million ($835 million) production deal with BAE Systems to acquire a new fleet of 28 Hawk 128 advanced jet trainers (AJT) to enter service from 2008.



The award covers the production of 26 new Hawk 128s, with these to join two demonstrator aircraft already manufactured and flying under an almost £160 million design and development contract placed with the manufacturer in December 2004. The new aircraft are to replace part of the UK’s current fleet of BAE Hawk T1/1A trainers.
