With sterling efforts from British Aerospace, the Royal Navy Historic Flight's Sea Hawk was brought out of storage in 1995 and restored to flying condition by the end of 1996. She appeared at several airshows in 1997, and is pictured here at the 1997 Fighter Meet at North Weald. Taking off... ...zooming past... ...and zooming back, with the arrestor hook hanging down. Sadly later in the season a crack in the jet pipe released hot exhaust into the rear fuselage and this grounded the aircraft for some years. Happily she's now back in the air.
