BAC Jet Provost T.5A Military Trainer Aircraft

Hunting developed the Jet Provost from it's piston-engine Percival Provost basic trainer to meet an RAF requirement for a basic jet training aircraft, the prototype first flew in June 1954 and entered RAF service in 1955.

The Jet Provost remained the RAF's basic jet trainer until replaced with the turbo-prop powered Short Tucano in the early 1990's, one of the main reasons for the change was the considerable saving of time and money on servicing.
