I just read this
a few comments:
1) funny craft
2) can't find that was actually used or intended to use as fighter, but more like a prototype
3)
All three prototypes were lost in fatal crashes.
It seems to me it was nt quite a viable piece of craft.

The generation (age and speed and capabilities) of the chosen Jet Fighter is OK.
If you get a very slow craft, it seems you can be good company for KB7 (read above)
But the aircraft (to be a participant) must be a fighter. Not a trainer.
We already completed a Jet "Trainer" leg before

In other words, I strongly advise you discount both the BAE Hawk and the Yak130 from consideration.
If the plane in question was also used in other countries with weapon hardpoints despite it's being trainer?
One of the best planes I have for this event was the DH108 Swallow experimental DeHavilland built 3 of. Good cruise speed and fuel use. But definitely not a production fighter, even though it was slated to fly as an interceptor to compliment the Vampire.
