This Hawk from 100 Squadron at Leeming is pictured in Gaydon Hangar following recovery to Valley after one heck of a bird strike. The cockpit canopy has an enormous hole punched in it and fragments of the canopy glass have peppered the airframe with dents and perforations. The flat rear cockpit windscreen (mid-canopy, immediately behind the front ejection seat) is covered in reddish-brown bird puree. (Three second exposure at f16)
