Info from Dennis Robinson from Britmodeller forum:
The RSAF did not use the Hawk in combat during the Gulf War 1990/91.
Indeed at the commencement of Desert Storm, half the fleet were deployed to Khamis Mushayt in order to free up parking space for Operational aircraft.
During Desert Shield, two aircraft, 2120 and 3757, were respectively fitted with centre line gun, 590 litre underwing tanks and,
in the case of 2120, 2 x AIM-9 on the outboard pylons, the launchers and missiles coming from Kuwait aircraft that had escaped that country and, in the case of 3757, two Cluster bombs on the outboards.
This was a "trial" fit and the aircraft did not fly in these configurations.
As well as the underwing tanks and centre line gun, RSAF Hawks were only officially cleared to carry the Matra R550 Magic missile on the outboard pylons
and the SECAPEM Type 52DHW Target Banner Type 53 pod on the centre line. This latter pod was painted an unknown French Red overall.
