When we were doing the Hawk India bid, the IAF guys who came over to Warton wanted us to build all of them, they feared the quality HAL would put
out.
I think we sold them in fool proof kits so there was very little they could stuff up. Ironically the first crash (on take off) was of one of the
Warton/Brough built birds however you have to imagine a pretty tense cockpit when one of the pilots ejected and the other stayed in until it came to
its own rest on the runway and he climbed out.
Im saying the pilots are probably more of a threat than the hardware!
