The first equipment from the UK's tri-service Military Flying Training System (MFTS) has been accepted for use at Royal Air Force base Valley in north Wales, as planners prepare to conduct an internal review of the complete training syllabus "this autumn".

Seven of the RAF's eventual 28 BAE Systems Hawk 128 advanced jet trainers have been delivered to the service's 19 Sqn to support the development of tactics by a six-strong team of pilots.

A further four renamed Hawk T2s have already been accepted by the service, and 22 will be delivered this year. The remainder will follow in 2010, with work to prepare a future cadre of instructors to start late the same year and the first students to fly the type from late 2011.
