Narrative:Four Hawks were the final element of an airfield attack during the ‘Tiger Meet’ at Beja. After breaking off following the attack the pilot of XX302 noticed two Portuguese F-16s which were acting as top cover. He took avoiding action but the underside of the Hawk clipped Esquadra 201 F-16B 15120, shearing off about 1ft of the F-16's port tailplane.
The pilot, Flight Lieutenant Marcus Cook, ejected safely
