Hunting Jet Provost

Edit

The Hunting Jet Provost s a British jet trainer aircraft that was in use with the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1955 to 1993. It was originally developed by Hunting Percival from the earlier piston engine-powered Percival Provost basic trainer, and later produced by Supermarine. In addition to the multiple RAF orders, the Jet Provost, sometimes with light armament, was exported to many air forces worldwide. The design was also further developed by Supermarine into a more heavily armed ground attack variant named the Strikemaster.
