Hawk T1 Engraved Pewter Whisky Tumbler

Our Hawk T1 Pewter Whisky Tumbler pays tribute to the aircraft that trained a whole generation of RAF pilots and paints the sky red, white and blue every British summer — a properly weighted whisky tumbler with the BAE Systems Hawk T1 beautifully engraved on the side of the glass, set into a handmade pewter base polished to a high shine. The pewter wraps around the bottom of the tumbler, lifting it from a glass into something considerably more substantial.

The Hawk has been the RAF's advanced jet trainer since 1976 — the aircraft every fast-jet pilot in Britain flew before they were let loose on a Tornado, Harrier or Typhoon. But it's better known these days for the job it does in Red Arrows livery. If you've ever watched the Reds sweep in over a summer airshow trailing smoke, or held your breath during a Synchro Pair crossover, you've watched Hawks doing something quite extraordinary. Fifty years in service and still going.

The pewter base is handmade at our Birmingham workshop in some of the finest British Pewter, polished by hand to a bright finish. The tumbler holds 300ml — a generous measure for a fine single malt, a favourite bourbon, or anything else worth raising — and weighs around 415g, giving it the substantial, properly-grounded feel that the best whisky glassware always has.

Add a personal engraving to the glass to turn it into a one-of-a-kind keepsake. For the full experience, you can add a set of stainless steel whisky stones, which chill a dram without ever diluting it. It arrives presented in a gift box, making it a perfect gift for Red Arrows fans, former RAF fast-jet trainees, flying instructors, airshow regulars, aviation enthusiasts, Father's Day, milestone birthdays, or for yourself, why not.
