Ok, I’m on the scrounge!
We have a couple of new engineering lads who have decided to take on our JP, XN494. This airframe came from Dick Everett via Crawley College. We have a single manual, the IPC for a JP3A! Does anyone have the [Vol 1. General and Technical Information] for a Jet Provost 3A that we could borrow? If it’s a hard copy we will scan it and return it, as well as a copy on CD, should only take a week at most. Obviously if someone already has it on CD that would be even better, we’d offer to print it when we copied it. All postage costs will be paid by us.
Thanks

That is good news Peter, when we stripped the paint off a few months ago we found the old blue stripes on the wings when Andy offer displayed her!
So we put these back on, http://forums.flyer.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=70915

Hi Neil,
thats’s fascinating, we knew that most of the bits other than the fuse weren’t original, but certainly didn’t know about XM479 having the wings. A nice item to add to the history, must get the lads to try to find which wings are on 494. Good to know something still works from 494. The intention is to XN494 taxiing eventually. We have a Monarch pilot who flew her and would love to give her the first taxi. We’ll also put her back in a more appropriate colour scheme.
