JP5 , location – poacher county if memory serves me correctly ?

I believe that the RAF JP5s had MDC fitted. Don’t recall any Strikemaster canopies with MDC fitted.
The ‘fixing lug’ is in fact the canopy handle for opening or closing the canopy manually.CS
I checked my photos from a Mildenhall back in the 80’s and the RAF JP5 has got MDC.

Fixing lug (?) on the side gives it away – now whose JP5/Strikemasters had MDCs?

I agree, JP5 / Strikemaster

Just for comparison:
This is a Jet Provost canopy, that I shot in Cheraw, South Carolina in 2003. There were four JPs based there.

I’d go with the JP5 and /or Strikemaster.

Definitely JP5 and/or Strikemaster

Look Like JP5’s
A225HVY
They are not off Harriers, as there no cutouts at rear for the ports behind the cockpit. They have an MDC fitted, hence I’d agree wit A225HVY that they are off JP Mk5’s (the green ones are most likely just painted in green primer). The RAF Generator behind is also a bit of a giveaway to them not being off a Tutor.

some kind of trainer? Tutor?

I’d’ve said Harrier/AV8 but not so sure now because of the white coloured ones…
