HC Deb 21 May 1974 vol 874 c75W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what orders have been given for the HS1182 close support trainer.

Mr. John

A contract for the development and production of the HS1182—now known as the Hawk—which will be the new jet trainer for the RAF, was placed with Hawker Siddeley Aviation early in 1972. Contracts for development and initial production of the Adour engine which will power the aircraft have been placed with Rolls-Royce (1971) Ltd.
