We don't.They are operated by Chobham, for Fleet Defense Requirements, and basically replaced the FRADU Hawker Hunters IIRC.
The aircraft are used for a variety of tasks, such as target-towing for aerial gunnery, mission rehearsal, naval air defense, and electronic-warfare training. The Falcons each have four underwing hardpoints for carrying podded electronic threat generation equipment and towed targets.

That's the ones at Bournmouth/Hurn. The ones at Teeside do the old 360 Sqn Canberra role providing electronic support, ECM, jamming, They are operated by Chobham, for Fleet Defense Requirements, and basically replaced the FRADU Hawker Hunters IIRC.
Having said that, during the recent Excercise Point Blank over the North Sea, a number of the Bournmouth jets deployed to Teesde.
I'm never quick on the draw when something goes flying over head, but a black jet of some kind went at space over Sandbach about 15 mins ago, currently lapping Anglesey, it was a Hawk 128 T2 apparently, don't know if its interesting or not, but unusual to see such a fast yet black coloured Jet fly so fast overhead.
Whilst watching it on Flight Radar, it appears to have quickly been joined by another 2 of the same flying in from the sea.

The decision to paint RAF training aircraft gloss black was made some 25 odd years ago because it aids visibility when opeating at low-level.

Does the RAF still use TACAN?
Yes, we also still practice TACAN instrument approaches from time to time. Gassing Station | Boats, Planes & Trains | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
