Warbird Alley: Jet Provost |
 | | The RAF was impressed by the Jet Provosts handling and seating configuration; after a four year comparative trial period of the T Mk 1s, 201 Jet Provost T Mk 3s were ordered in 1959 with Martin-Baker ejection seats, tip tanks, upgraded avionics and a clear canopy. |
 | | The Jet Provost design was later developed into the popular and capable BAC Model 167 Strikemaster light attack jet, but even the Jet Provost was to be armed with two machine guns on the export versions of the aircraft, the T.Mk51, T.Mk52 and T.Mk 55. |
 | | Retired from the military, the Jet Provost is now a popular and inexpensive jet for warbird enthusiasts in England, the Netherlands, Australia and the USA. |
