Photo Comment

Here's a novelty - surely the only Jet Provost to appear in airline colours! Taken on charge by the RAF in 1960 as XM473, went to No 1 SoTT at Halton as 8974M and later up to Norwich for training use by Air UK apprentices who added the fake marks 'G-TINY' (real reg later used by a Zlin). Moved to a Bedford college and now with an ex-military aircraft dealership near Ipswich
