Interesting to see on Barnstormers the former Cosford JP MK.5’s for sale -the picture of the line up is like a trip back to the 90’s with the mass disposal pics!

Not sure on the running costs -must be a close run thing between a JP5 and a Delfin. I guess the L-39 became the new benchmark once they started to flood the marketplace.

Still about the most practical and affordable ex military jet on the market. The inspection due to the strikemaster crash is a one off to remove a “g” restriction. Asking price is a tad optimistic though.

JP’s are not the gold dust they used to be and the Strikemaster that lost its wing down under introduced more inspections on the breed.

What do Cosford now use for the job the JPs did?

Anyone who has looked at the JP.5 pics on the above link, will find at the bottom an offer for sale of JP.4 XR664. In actual fact only a half share in the JP.4 is on offer, as the owner of the other half is not selling. If you pm me I will let you have the details.
