1/72^^ Airfix BAe Systems Dominie T.1a XS713
Red, White & Grey training scheme.

This little lady is ex Royal Air Force Hawker Siddeley Dominie T.1 XS714 "S".
My plan is to paint her into the RAF's classic Red, White and Grey trainer scheme with a blue band around the fuselage.

She was withdrawn from use when the RAF retired the Dominie fleet.

XS713 is owned by Starjets Aviation and Leased long-term to Hawker Harrier Aviation.

The Hawker Harrier Aviation LTD group plans to use her as a Multi-Engined Pilot Trainer and a training platform for intelligence crews onboard the Sentry and Nimrod.

Aircraft information:

The Dominie was an advanced navigation trainer for students destined for fast jets with front-line squadrons. It was the first jet trainer designed specifically for such a purpose to enter RAF service. Although not widely known by the public, it is one of the RAF aircraft with the longest history: the Dominie served for almost half a century before being retired in 2011.

First flown in December 1964, it was a military derivative of the highly successful HS 125 business jet, and superseded the Armstrong Whitworth Meteor NF.(T).14
