It’s a long shot, but can anyone please help with photo’s (or any history) of Jet Provost XN549 ?
Originally coded ‘R-Y’ as shown below, but in the late sixties believed to have been ’66’ with CFS, possibly with dayglo panels on the nose ?

any chance of XP558 (possibly in a Macaws scheme) also please, as i’m sure the current owner would like to see them……. 😉

Not sure about Macaws scheme (firmly in the ask Albert category) but I will search through my records later this evening.

I will have a look through my JP archive ( bear with me its getting quite extensive) for an in service pic.
Thanks Keith, and while your at it, any chance of XP558 (possibly in a Macaws scheme) also please, as i’m sure the current owner would like to see them……. 😉

Ask ‘Albert Ross’ – he could probably help with photos.
He might even know it’s history from first to last flight 🙂

I am assuming that you are aware of its current status at Shawbury?
Yes, but not at Shawbury anymore, now in Devon for some TLC at last…. 😀
