This early Hawk was saved from a scrapyard in France in the 1950s and acquired by The Fighter Collection in 1990. It wears an authentic Armée de l'Air standard three-tone scheme with GC 11/5 markings on the port side and Lafeyette Escadrille Sioux Indian head motif (the TFC logo) and code "8" on the starboard side. It has "81" under the port wing and "X8" under the starboard wing. This photo is copyright © Alastair T. Gardiner, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
