A source on Wednesday claimed the issue involved engine blades wearing out, with the pause set to be another blow for a training programme to deliver fast jet fighter pilots that has already dealt with a series of issues and delays.
"Post a recent issue on the runway involving an RAF Hawk TMk2 engine, as a precautionary measure, flying has been temporarily paused pending the results of the technical investigation," the spokesperson said.
It is understood that the RAF is working closely with the manufacturer and awaiting analysis on the specific engine.The problem with the training fleet will not impact the Red Arrows team, which operates Hawk T1 aircraft.
RAF recruits can spend up to eight years passing through the training pipeline. The length of time should be only two or three years. Ben Wallace, the defence secretary, gave Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston, the head of the RAF, the task of fixing flying training as his only priority more than three years ago.
The Hawk T2 is a single-engine aircraft manufactured by BAE Systems, though the engine is made by Rolls Royce.
