RAF advanced jet trainer - Hawk T2 start up and takeoff - RAF Shawbury

Two Royal Air Force Hawk T2 jets diverted into RAF Shawbury last week due to bad weather at RAF Valley. It was nice to see both 4 and 25 squadron jets. I thought it would be nice to capture the start up procedure as well as the takeoffs. Wildcat ZZ408 also did a low approach along runway 23 however this was very distant from my location. This footage was shot handheld using a Canon XA11.

Shawbury the under radar training centre in Shropshire , the jets usually go off to do the Mach loop.

Lots of exhaust smoke on that Hawk.

No automatic choke on those older engines. Pilot probably forgot to shove the knob in/
