Reverse Hawk deal. The Swiss AF operated 20 Hawk T.66s, of which 18 were sold to Finland in 2012. Of the other two, one crashed and one was preserved at Dübendorf. When the Payerne museum wanted to display an example, they obtained a Finnish example, HW-310, and painted it convincingly to represent a Swiss Mk. 66, using the next serial in sequence after the actual allocations U-1251 to U-1270.
