EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Hawker Siddeley Hawk T.1 XX341 ASTRA 1, one of three variable-stability aircraft that graced the skies over MOD Boscombe Down near Salisbury in the mid-1990s. The Hawk T.1 XX341 ASTRA 1, with manufacturing serial number 312165, was a crucial asset to the Empire Test Pilots School (ETPS) as an Advanced Stability Training Aircraft (ASTA). The ASTRA program was designed to provide test pilots with the unique experience of flying variable-stability aircraft, offering invaluable insights into the handling characteristics of aircraft under different conditions. The Hawk T.1, with its advanced avionics and adjustable stability features, was an ideal platform for this specialized training. As seen in this image, the Hawk T.1 XX341 ASTRA 1 wears the distinctive ETPS markings, proudly displaying its role as a vital component of the school's training fleet. The aircraft's sleek lines, combined with the vibrant colors of the markings, create a striking visual contrast against the clear blue sky. The Hawker Siddeley Hawk T.1 XX341 ASTRA 1 was a testament to the advanced engineering and design capabilities of its time. Its use at the Empire Test Pilots School further solidified its place in aviation history as an essential tool for training the next generation of test pilots. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of such institutions and the innovative aircraft that support their mission.
