Found a few miles from my hometown in mid wales!, as some farmers own personal gateguard!
Jet Provost XM358, RAF White/red training livery, Large “53” (sqn number?) on nose, No 1 FTS.
Was unable to get picture this time but my brother used to work for the owner so getting pics next time home will be no problem!.
a/c is standing on own undercarriage, Structuraly intact with wing tip tanks, inside of cockpit is still a mystery. Red paint is fading but all original markings still visible.

Thanks for the info Phil, wasnt totally sure wat the number corresponded to.
Hi Bruce, sorry to hear you had to part with her:(
Will be getting some pics next time I head home if you would like me to post them.:)
Did you recieve her direct from service?

I often wondered what happened to it – I used to own it; many years ago; but had to sell it as I didnt have a home for it.
It was a lovely airframe, with engine and everything – I greatly regretted having to sell it.

Hi there,
The number ’53’ simply denotes aircraft No.53 when she was part of No.1 FTS at RAF Linton-on-Ouse.
Regards,
Phil
