Hawk Country – The Story Behind the Print
Hawk Country places the RAF’s fast-jet trainer in the environment with which it became closely associated: low-level flying through the Welsh valleys.
A pair of Hawks leads the scene while other aircraft manoeuvre behind them, giving Michael Rondot’s painting a sense of the busy training environment experienced by generations of fast-jet students.
The Hawk emerged from the RAF requirement for a new fast-jet trainer to replace the Folland Gnat. Hawker Siddeley’s HS.1182 was selected in 1971, with the principal contract for 175 aircraft signed the following year.
The print is signed by Michael Rondot.
