one of my best mates is an ITAF pilot an is completing his syllabus on the EF: he said (and I quote) "it's an outstanding machine, you go from 200kts to 450 in roughly 5 secs and can turn around a pole! The flaws are distinctively British though!".
There seems to be a somehow unorthodox approach in British aircraft design: another good friend of mine is a Canadian Air Force pilot and flew with the Hawk when e still was a cadet and I remember him saying "the first impression when you sit inside the Hawk is that someone puked the instruments all over the cockpit" lol
