I once had a plastic toy in Red Arrows colours, as it so happens, though it was a Folland Gnat IIRC.

"What aircraft do the Red Arrows fly?

The Red Arrows have always flown whichever aircraft is in service as the Royal Air Force’s advanced fast jet trainer; currently the BAE SYSTEMS Hawk T1. From 1965 until 1979 the Red Arrows flew the Folland Gnat, the Hawk’s predecessor. "
