Actually none are of XN503 and none of the other well-known sites seem to have a photo of this JP either – maybe not altogether surprising, as it was struck off charge in 1976 and maybe had not been in use as a training aircraft for some time before that?
Oh, bu99er!
OK, just tried XN503 in Google and the only two pages I got were this one and Clyde North Aviation Preservation Group and neither has any pictures on.
Not able to find specific pictures of those aircraft so decided to try jet provost pictures in Google and got these, might be what you’re after.

Ther’s 416 photos of the Jet Provost here, I’m pretty sure a few of them will be of XN503.

hmm, maybe it was another JP – this was some weeks ago, someone was wanting to repaint one in her old Syerston colours (silver with dayglow strips)? No matter – I’m all for repaints providing they’re done right!

The aircraft flew initially with the A&AEE so I am not sure she would have had a FTS scheme on her at that time.

Not sure who it was that I communicated about this aircraft some weeks ago? I said that I’m sure I have some photos (probably cuttings) of Syerston JP’s in the silver/dayglow strip scheme which it wore, including the Vipers aerobatic team scheme.
Any news on the aircraft?

Great help chaps thanx….pm on way T21

pm your address, I have an old Scale Aircraft Modelling magazine showing all of the FTS schemes on Jet Provosts.

Don’t know history of your a/c but hope these help – they show standard scheme as supplied to RAF & 2 FTS.
2FTS had code on side of nose, Cranwell put it on front of nose.
In time things changed with the use of stick on strips, all of which seemed to differ from each other !
