In 1991, BAe and Indonesian Aerospace (IPTN) signed an agreement for collaborative production of the Hawk and more orders were anticipated, but exports were eventually blocked due to concerns over Indonesian human rights, particularly in East Timor. However in June 1993, the TNI-AU successfully ordered eight Hawk Mk.109s and 16 Mk.209s from BAe, supplemented by 16 additional Mk.209s in 1996 This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
