One of six Provosts T.1s which arrived at Fairoaks on 20th November 1968. All ex CATCS, Shawbury, they arrived at Fairoaks from Blackbushe and were intended for illegal export for use in the Biafra conflict. That never happened and the aircraft languished at Fairoaks until May 1970 when they were dismantled, transported to a warehouse in North London and clandestinely shipped to Rhodesia in 1971/72. G-AWTE was cancelled from the UK register in March 1969 and ultimately became R3165 with the Rhodesian AF.
